The Montreal Metro Project is an ongoing photo series by Chris Forsyth.

Beginning in October 2014, the project accentuates the beauty of each station and encourages others to see their surroundings in a new light. Architectural portraits show that beautiful design, and art is all around us, even when we may not notice it. Shooting long-exposure shots of the empty stations, Forsyth captures the designs of some of Montreal’s 68 metro stations — each one designed by a different architect and reflective of the architectural trends, such as Brutalism and Modernism, between the 60s and 70s.

You can watch the series developing on the photographer’s Instagram profile.
