The well known phrase said by Samuel Johnson on September 20, 1777 “When a man is tired of London he is tired of life…” is still up to date. These photographs of London 2012 depict the capital in ways never seen before. Besides, they are all captured and edited on mobile phones, with smartphone app Instagram. The challenge was to create the perfect image that depicts London in an innovative way, using photography in an unusual setting. Instagram held competitions throughout 2012, asking the social network’s community to share their most iconic images of London, with a different theme every month. The artwork is on display until December 16 at the Truman Brewery on London’s Brick Lane.
