How to pass that time on that dreary journey to-and-from work? Read a book? Check your emails? Browse the Internet? People watch? Or maybe read a newspaper?

Photographer Matt Crabtree has been spending his travel time secretly taking pictures of his fellow commuters with his smart phone. He then retouches these images to make them look like figures from 16th century paintings—and the results are quite beautiful.

Crabtree is a self-taught photographer based in London who “looks for the quietly observed, minimal story.” Such stories can be found in his series of photographs 16th Century Tube Passengers. These photos take a moment out of time and make us see something we often take for granted.

More of Matt Crabtree‘s work can be seen here.

Armed with his Leica M4, photographer Bob Mazzer spent two decades documenting London’s commuters, tourists, and workers, as they traveled through the city’s famous Underground system.

Mazzer shot most of these photographs as he traveled to-and-from work. An exhibition of his Mazzer’s incredibly evocative images was first shown at a Greater London Council exhibition at the Royal Festival Hall in the 1980s. View more here.
