Description
On March 23, the evening the lockdown was announced, I was on my exercise round, cycling through an already deserted London. I was experiencing the city like I had never seen it in the 20 years I have been living here.
I decided that taking the camera on my nightly cycling excursions was a safe way to document different parts of the city without endangering myself or others.
I felt compelled to document the lack of crowds in places that are usually buzzing with people. But looking at the images I have made over these weeks, I sense they have taken on a life of their own.
Maybe my photos are less about the lack of human presence, and more about the stillness of a city being allowed a breather to reveal a beauty that may otherwise go unnoticed.
