Fine Airs and Fine Graces: Shane Taylor’s stylish street photography

The famous ‘New York Times’ photographer Bill Cunningham once said: “When I get depressed at the office, I go out, and as soon as I’m on the street and see people, I feel better.” One of our favourite photographers is London-based Irishman Shane Taylor. Originally drawn to street photography as a means of overcoming social anxiety, Shane’s work captures fleeting moments with a keen sense of beauty, emotion and perfect timing - whether that’s in a London Tube station, on the street or at a café bar. Stylish, sensitive and nuanced, Shane’s second book ‘Fine Airs & Fine Graces’ is out now. Conceived over four years in pre-Covid London, it is available from shanetaylor.net and @heroesforsale priced UK£35.
