Hackney

This black and white urban landscape photograph captures the gritty atmosphere beneath two intersecting motorways, with graffiti-covered walls adding a layer of raw street art. The stark contrast between the concrete structures and the bold, expressive graffiti creates a powerful visual tension, highlighting the urban environment's industrial and artistic elements. The monochrome tones emphasize texture and shadow, giving the scene a timeless and edgy feel.

For photographer Amadeus Long, photography initially served as a form of meditation—a way to escape his inner world and embrace the simplicity of seeing, rather than thinking. He began exploring photography at a time when he was deeply fascinated by society. Having reached a point in life where he felt the need to completely relearn how to engage with people, society, and the world, Long likened the experience to that of someone recovering from a major accident, relearning to use their limbs. In his case, it was about rediscovering how to use his mind and senses fully.
