The Big Smoke

'I moved back from Seville and never imagined I would see this scene in the middle of London: it has passion, music, drinking, dancing and a tourist wandering into the scene trying to make sense of it all'

'This shot was taken in Trafalgar Square, sadly not quite the pigeon hang-out it used to be, but still a regular haunt for most.'

'When I first started shooting free runners I had my heart permanently in my throat, but after spending time with them I realised that they trained hard and never did anything they weren't sure of'

'I caught this teenage skater hanging out under the Southbank Centre recently. I loved the way he almost merges with the graffiti-adorned walls'

'My Peter Parker moment. Seeing the smoke plume after a power cut, I raced over to see what had happened and captured this'

'This end of terrace in Deptford really made me smile, a good example of what's so great about London'

'This photo was taken at an address in Holborn that had been commandeered discreetly by resourceful acolytes. The girl is in conversation with the city'. See more of Shane Deegan's work in our gallery and at http://harmacy.idflux.net

'I was curious about the vast volume of people all crammed in together but looking very much alone’
