Emmanuel Cole is a photographer born and based in London. He came to photography over ten years ago when his uncle gave him his first camera and he started documenting his beloved city's inhabitants.
Years spent walking the streets of the city has developed his eye for portraiture and informed his aesthetic of lifestyle and street photography. He is at his happiest when on the move and searching out the fleeting moment.
To celebrate his ten years in street photography, Emmanuel published his first book, Bearing Witness last year. It can be purchased here.
