“The Secret Lives of Humans” is a new limited edition photobook by Paul Russell, published by Eyeshot. Rooted in the English social landscape, the book observes everyday public life with humour, precision, and a quietly distinctive point of view. Russellโs photographs look at people almost as a naturalist would: attentive to behaviour, gesture, habitat, and the strange rituals of ordinary life. The result is a body of work that feels playful, sharp, and deeply observant, revealing the hidden theatre of human presence in public space.
After June 30th, the limited edition will never be available again.ย
