Andy Hall's project spans seven years of photographing London's City, reflecting on its transformation through events like Brexit and the COVID-19 pandemic. His book, 'The Same for Everyone', showcases images that convey the atmosphere of this historic yet modern financial hub, emphasizing both its vibrancy and emptiness. The photos highlight daily life, capturing moments of isolation and introspection amid skyscrapers. Winning accolades at a photography festival, Hall’s work reveals a duality in the City, where grandeur coexists with a sense of alienation for its inhabitants and visitors alike.
Hall's City pictures won the prestigious best author prize at the recent Trieste festival, judged by Magnum photography star Harry Gruyaert, who described them as the kind of photos I'd love to have taken myself pulling order from chaos.
Hall's City workers, often frozen in snatched lunchtime moments of contemplation, or trapped in sudden startling glass and steel geometries, move among and within the shadows and mirrors of what Boris Johnson called the phallocratic Square Mile.
