Alan Schaller is a London based photographer known for his signature style street photography, which features play with high contrast light and shadow and stunning architecture. In this series called 'Metropolis' Schaller deals with themes of isolation and loneliness in an urban environment. The photographs take us into the heart of an unknown city. The humans seem tiny and insignificant in comparison to the space that overwhelms them. We can’t even tell the expressions on their faces, they are all hurrying by in the hustle and bustle of the city.
The stunning unique compositions and distinct mood make Schaller’s photography truly one of a kind. The photographer's work has been widely praised and featured in outlets like 'The Independent' and 'The Financial Times'.
