LONDON.- The forthcoming photographic exhibition, Londoners Through a Lens, opens on Friday 14th August at the Getty Images Gallery and follows on from last year’s hugely popular show, London Through a Lens.

London has produced its fair share of heroes and villains, many of which are included in the exhibition. But the exhibition is not a celebrity identity parade; it also captures the anonymous Londoners, the people that haven’t appeared in the spotlight, but have helped shaped the metropolis of today. An image of the Sex Pistols outside Buckingham Palace appears alongside an image of school children queuing outside a children’s only cinema. A rat catcher with two ferrets and his faithful Jack Russell appears alongside the swinging sixties fashion designer Mary Quant.
“Londoners Through a Lens takes a look at what makes London so special – namely, its people,” says Cath Phillips, Editor of the Time Out Guides book “Artists and actors, comedians and call-girls, musicians and murderers, playwrights and politicians, scientists and sporting stars – the celebrated and the hated all appear, but there are also plenty of anonymous faces, everyday Londoners going about their everyday business, working, playing and bringing London to life.”
