This street photographer’s love letter to London is impossible to resist – these are some seriously great photos!

Chris Porsz, a street photographer, presents a heartfelt tribute to London through his latest book, "London Calling." Initially unimpressed by his direct approach, Peter Dench is captivated by the enthusiasm and passion that Porsz exudes towards his subjects and the city itself.

The 70+ year-old former paramedic, who had previously declared his retirement from photography, finds renewed purpose after Donald Trump's speech criticizing London Mayor Sadiq Khan. Motivated, Porsz embarks on a mission to capture the essence of the city in all its vibrancy and diversity, spending more than 60 visits and hundreds of miles to create more than 60 photographs.

London Calling is a 352-page collection of images that span the past few decades, showcasing the city's colorful inhabitants, eccentricities, and everyday encounters. From people jumping, smoking, flashing gestures, laughing, skateboarding, kissing, pointing, dancing, cycling, marching, and occasionally getting arrested, to tourists tangled with commuters and characters appearing as if they've been kicked out of a fancy dress party, Porsz documents it all.

Camden Market, Broadway Market, and even the weather become his stage as he aims to document the city's energy, eccentricity, and multicultural characters. Despite sometimes appearing too obvious, Porsz's photographs rarely leave viewers feeling cold, instead, they are funny, sometimes touching, and a testament to his relentless pursuit of capturing London in its true form.
