Life as a Night Porter

"Chris Shaw spent ten years working in London hotels, all the while using his camera to both document the hotels' unexpected human spectacles and keep himself awake through the long hours of his shift. Whether capturing prostitutes waiting between 'Johns', weary hotel staff, the inebriated and profligate guests, or the details of the hotels' faded grandeur, Shaws' images transcend the physical boundaries of a place, and instead capture a state of mind in which few people would choose to stay more than a night" - Publisher's website (www.twinpalms.com)
