Working Nights photobook, by Dan Sumption

Working Nights is a beautifully designed love letter to the liminal hours: a photobook capturing the raw energy, quiet solitude, and strange magic of Sheffield and London’s nightlife in the early 2000s. Through 29 full-colour photographs and evocative illustrations by  Sheffield artist Paul Evans, Dan Sumption invites us into a world that exists between dusk and dawn, where the city breathes differently, and time takes on a dreamlike quality.

Split into themed sections, Working Nights explores:

• • Uncommon people – friends, old and new.
  • Pernoctators – Pernoctator: One who stays up all night working, praying or partying.
    
  • Art – Private views, performances.
  • Ponderosa – Traces of crime.
  • Psychogeography – The Peak District.
    

Printed in a compact A6 postcard format, this 68-page book is a tactile experience, with high-quality card pages that enhance the depth and atmosphere of each image. Whether you’re drawn to urban nightlife, psychogeography, or the poetry of the in-between hours, Working Nights is an invitation to explore the unseen side of the city.
