Throughout 2010 Tyrone Lebon photographed friends and family in his own image. The result is Nothing Lasts Forever, an intimate anthology of the friends and family who passed through his Brixton studio during that period. “It doesn’t reflect much about the way I am feeling now, but back at the start of 2010 I was in a darker mood,” says Lebon. “These photos are about impermanence and change, and this project began as a way of mourning that.

“Photography is especially good at highlighting change, as a moment and all the circumstances that surrounded it are frozen in a picture life moves on. By the end of 2010 I didn’t feel the same and the photos started to feel forced so I stopped, and started working on printing the images and getting the book made.”

Composed of 60 portraits of sombre beauty, Nothing Lasts Forever reflects the passage of time and the ephemeral nature of a feeling.
