14 pics from Bristol’s Magic Hour exhibition
They are the “army of the night”: the city’s bus drivers, security guards, kebab shop workers, bakers, delivery guys, ambulance crews and street cleaners.
And they have been captured in a series of photographs exploring Bristol’s “magic hour”, the extra hour they see first-hand when the clocks go back every year.
Part of a photography competition dedicated to the other side of Bristol’s nightlife which took place on the night of October 25, the pictures are on display to the public at the Harbourside Arts Centre until December 11.
