Eyewitness: Diorama Map London (2010)

Sohei Nishino walked the city of London on foot for a month, wandering the streets and recording images from every possible angle. About 4,000 of these photographs, hand printed in his own dark room, were meticulously pieced together with scissors and glue in his Tokyo studio. The result was an aerial view of London, which was reshot as a completed collage to produce a final image. More of Nishino’s collages are on show at the Michael Hoppen Gallery in London Illustration: Sohei Nishino/Michael Hoppen Contemporary/Emon Gallery
