Photographer Matthew Joseph took pictures of taxi drivers in six cities and asked what drew them to the profession.

“As a photographer it’s people, faces, journeys and stories that fascinate me,” says Joseph. “Taxi drivers tick these boxes in abundance.”

Shot over a 12-month period, Joseph started the project in New York and moved to London, Paris, Rome and Johannesburg and ended in Cape Town.
