Cardiff After Dark" is the first monograph by British-based Polish photographer Maciej Dakowicz. Dakowicz spent five years photographing the nighttime revelries that take place in Cardiff over the weekend. Focused around a few pedestrianized streets in the city centre Dakowiczs images capture nightlife fueled by alcohol & emotions. The arc of an evenings entertainment is captured in these candid photographs which reveal fun & hilarity as well as fighting & drunken exhaustion. There are stag nights & hen parties men dressed as superheroes & women dressed as Playboy bunnies mountains of discarded chip wrappers arrests by the police & lots & lots of posing for photographs. Dakowiczs images at times shocking or upsetting form an important documentary photobook of British urban life in the early part of the 21st century."
