Alexander Coggin's street photos show a superb eye for odd moments

Date
17 July 2015

Alex Coggin’s no stranger to It’s Nice That, we’ve long been enamoured with his knack for casting a sci-fi light on domestic scenes and having very hot friends. Now, we’re celebrating his street photography, which demonstrates his skilled eye for finding the uncanny in the everyday, and for two women wearing matching all-over leopard print outfits. He manages to be there for those tiny moments that most would miss – the embarrassed little kid wishing he was somewhere else while his parents make a tourist spectacle of themselves, a woman’s turquoise trousers somehow making her seem part of a theme park’s architecture. The colours are great, the content bizarre and the execution coolly nonchalant, and we’re hooked.
