Mark McEvoy's 90s London Tube Portraits, Friday Nights 1992–95

auto_awesomePixelfetch Take
Mark McEvoy shot strangers on the London Underground at closing time across three years in the early 90s, producing a portrait series that now reads as a pre-smartphone document of British city life. Candid, straight-on, shot in the tight confines of a Tube carriage, the work holds up on craft alone.
