The founder of MACK Books picks his favourite picture from Photo London.
MR PORTER has teamed up with Photo London to ask some experts from the world of photography – as well as some enthusiasts from our own team – to select their favourite image from the fair. Read about the shot chosen by Mr Michael Mack, the founder of MACK Books, below.
Mr Mack, founder of the independent photography book publisher MACK Books, chooses an image from Mr Daniel Shea’s recent series 43-35 10th Street, a study of American architecture that won the Brooklyn-based photographer the prestigious Foam Paul Huf Award.

“Daniel Shea has achieved something extraordinary,” says Mr Mack. “He made a brilliant book, and then worked really hard in thinking about how to translate the book to the gallery space. The way he explores the relationship between photography and the built environment exhibits a clear intelligence and intensity, and the photographs themselves are exquisite. For anyone interested in acquiring new works, I think Daniel Shea is a really good bet.”
Photo London is at Somerset House from 17 to 20 May
