"Everyone that loves London will love this book." — Joanne Good, BBC Radio London"If you're looking for some inspiration for unusual places to photograph in the city, or just a good manual for avoiding the obvious, this is well worth looking into." — Amateur Photography"This is a wonderful collection for anyone who loves London in all its unconventional glory." — Black and White Photography "In the book… we get a fantastic look at those alternative viewpoints that you're unlikely to find in your Lonely Planet or Rough guide. They've called the books 'Unseen' for a reason, because you're far less likely to have already viewed the kinds of pictures taken within it." — Amateur PhotographerOver the course of 15 years, native Londoner Paul Anthony Scane went out by bike and on foot to explore hidden corners of his city with four analogue cameras and an eye for the unusual. This book, which is devoid of the usual tourist spots, shines a light on places and people that are not often seen: the campy drycleaner (“Go Gay”); a double decker bus appearing to manoeuvre a miniature golf course; an abandoned tank in south London. These poignant and often witty images capture the character and soul of the real London with affection and curiosity. London Unseen is a character study of a world metropolis - based on its people and streets, away from Big Ben and Trafalgar Square.

Like the first part of the Unseen series (London Unseen), New York Unseen is an authentic approach to the character of a world metropolis. It is the first illustrated book that attempts to capture the soul of the Big Apple without focusing on tourist highlights such as the Statue of Liberty and Central Park.Instead, Luc Kordas focuses on intimate encounters with the protagonists of the East Coast metropolis: its residents. Embedded in their "natural habitat," the mostly black-and-white images of people from the city's streets, backyards, apartments, or trains often tell much more than the 1,000th image of the Empire State Building could.The result is a photographic smorgasbord of looks, gestures, situations that capture the soul of New York. The city is thus seen from its edges, and at the same time from its innermost - an unprecedented view of what is probably the most photographed city in the world.

"In the book… we get a fantastic look at those alternative viewpoints that you're unlikely to find in your Lonely Planet or Rough guide. They've called the books 'Unseen' for a reason, because you're far less likely to have already viewed the kinds of pictures taken within it." — Amateur PhotographerBerlin Unseen is, like the first two parts of the Unseen series (London Unseen and New York Unseen), an authentic approach to the character of the German capital.At the same time, the images by Martin U. Waltz breathe the atmosphere of the metropolis on the Spree as authentically as few others. The star photographer of the German street photography scene has always been close to the pulse of the city; knows where Berlin life meets; in which places and squares the soul of the city is best reflected. Yet it is not the city's tourist highlights that interest Martin U. Waltz. It is the streets and the faces of the "real" Berlin, the hidden architecture, the backyards, party basements and subcultures of the city. His images smell and taste of Berlin, and not (only) of the Brandenburg Gate, Reichstag and TV Tower.Berlin Unseen thus becomes a photographic smorgasbord of glances, gestures, situations that capture the soul of Berlin. The city is seen from its edges, and at the same time from its innermost - an unprecedented view of probably the most moving metropolis in the world.Text in English and German.

Following on from the first three books in the Unseen series about New York, London and Berlin, Tokyo Unseen is another authentic approach to one of the largest and most fascinating cities of our civilisation. The impressive coffee table book presents the city of contrasts in a fascinating honesty that only an inhabitant of this city of millions can portray in such a direct way. In unique photographs, Polish photo artist Lukasz Palka, who has lived and worked in Tokyo since 2008, succeeded in explaining his home city to strangers in pictures.The street life photographer describes his own work as a by-product of his countless walks through the city, where he constantly encounters exciting scenes and people. The magic behind his pictures lies in the chance product, because the artist never searches for his motifs, they simply come across him.In doing so, he manages to convey the fascinating contrast of the Japanese capital in an almost perfect way. For in hardly any other city do the future and the past exist so close together. Thus, the coffee-table book presents wonderful pictures of people going about their daily lives, of skyscrapers and temples and the unique culture of life that arises when 14 million people meet in a very small space.Text in English and German.
