The debut solo show of British photographer Alistair Taylor-Young coincides with the launch of The Phone Book, a series of images shot on his camera phone. “We have been bombarded by manipulated images throughout our creative history. Here is a collection of images with scenes I have captured without tricks” he explains. As an in-demand photographer who has worked on campaigns for high-profile clients from Isabella Rossellini to Armani, Taylor-Young shows his passion for the abstract with a series embracing stripped-down, experimental aesthetics. At times hazy and ghostlike, thrumming with a restrained drama, framed by a sense of distance and longing, the series is beguilingly unadorned and gently unsettling. Until 12 February.
