The second edition of Ed's two-part exploration of modern life and society, including new and refined images.
"Inside the Hive" is a two-part photographic art project that grew out of Ed Swinden's candid 'Street B(ee)' work of 2003-2009 and his 2010 military-style portraiture piece, "Beekeeper: to Serve the Queen".
Two sides of an 'argument' are presented, and the reader asked to decide whether to look on the light side, or the dark side.
Ed's artwork aims to make the viewer consider what 'duty' and 'society' mean for the individual. It addresses themes of service and duty, alienation and coersion, the building of physical and mental barriers, and explores personal graft, sacrifice and redemption.

I love your city images. The light is always superb and the shadows are gorgeously black. I've had pictures such as these in my head for quite a while, with the intention of finding some time to actually try and take some photos my self. Then I stumbled across your book. I only wish I could afford to buy a copy.
