London is just as alluring as ever but now everyone is taking shelter, keeping out of sight. Photographed in the hours just before sunrise or just after sundown. Very detailed and shot in super high resolution composite format, the photos explore decaying modernism, post industrial landscapes, council estates in a fugue state of sleep and serenity, monumental London landmarks wreathed in a painterly haze. The images have been made over the last ten years during which London has experienced Olympic euphoria through to pandemic and chaotic government policies. The emphasis is on mood and an attitude amassed over 40 years of picturing London.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChris Dorley-Brown set up his Hackney based darkroom off Mare Street in 1984 documenting east London. Concentrating on social housing, public places, hospitals, workplaces, and architecture he has since established a substantial archive of colour photographs, supporting himself working variously as sound editor, producer, event promoter, teacher, historian and cameraman. Since 1997 he has prioritised his photographic work, exhibiting internationally, and creating books with a wide range of publishers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 96\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.64 x 12.06 x 9.7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 05, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47428810375417,"sku":"9781916915183","price":59.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/9CctyH3EPb9781916915183.webp?v=1771441530","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/near-dark-hardcover","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
