Eternal London








Eternal London is a collection of photographs by Giacomo Brunelli. Brunelli (b. 1977, Italy) is best known for his series The Animals I/II(2005-2009)which consists  of portraits of animals in Italy and the UK. In Eternal London Brunelli uses a distinct film-noir style to create a unique view of the capital and its well known landmarks. The images are framed around silhouettes of people and animals
. 
Brunelli takes his photographs during daily early morning walks, randomly choosing a person to follow before focusing his camera on them. He protects their identity by obscuring their faces while exploiting light, shadow and contrast.

 The collection is currently being exhibited in The Photographers Gallery in London
