In the summer the Tate collaborated with Flickr and Blurb to create a photobook of urban portraits to coincide with the major exhibition Street & Studio : An Urban History of Photography, held at Tate Modern, London 22 May - 31 August 2008.
Photographers were invited to contribute urban portraits via the Street or Studio Flickr group. From the thousands submitted 100 were selected by Juergen Teller, Ute Eskildsen (Curator of Street & Studio) and Heather Champ (Flickr).
My image of a girl reading her text messages on her mobile phone outside the silent rave at the Queen Elizabeth Hall was taken on the summer solstice 2008 and made it into the photobook.
