Johnny Stiletto is famous for shooting from the hip, literally: taking photos when there's not enough time, or not enough light, or no way to keep the camera steady, or a need to keep moving. Sometimes the results are extraordinary, and sometimes the imperfect results have a beauty that more "careful" photography lacks.
If you've got some time, have a look through his portfolio here. His commentary which accompanies the images is equally quirky and interesting.
A few of my favourites:
The Henry Moore sculpture with the strange-looking real person.
The woman in the cathedral who seems to de-materialise.
The painter and his tools, seen from below the glass-brick pavement.
The shop-window dummy with ennui.
and
A view of the waiter from behind the folded napkin.

Very good, especially Francis Bacon on the tube.
Yes, apparently it was one of Bacon's favourite images of himself.
I like the one of Mick Jagger's retreating back, too. :-)
