We’ve featured his work before but loved this latest series by photographer John Clang. In his own words, ‘Time’ is “a series that involves recording a location, to show the passing of time in a montage style.

There’s something fascinating in the realisation that so many stories are shared through space and John’s work captures those stories captivatingly.
