City, London Bridge
These images don’t form a single story. They offer windows into time briefly pausing, then moving again.
With every blink, the city shifts, faces blur, footsteps overlap, life moves steadily. Moments slip past too quickly to hold yet each one leaves a faint trace. Some days the streets pulsed with movement; other days they stretched out empty like unanswered questions. Old buildings whispered their stories while new structures rose beside them, creating a quiet dialogue between what was and what is.
In between came the stillness of lockdown. The familiar hum fell away, and the city seemed to hold its breath. That silence became its own presence, filling the spaces between everything that had once been constant. During this period, my image Silent Covid Morning received the 2020 UK Landscape Photographer of the Year award in the Isolation Landscape category—recognition shaped by London at its quietest and most uncertain.
All of these photographs were made within a one mile radius of London Bridge over a five to six-year period, during my one hour walks to stretch my bones.
