For nearly a decade now I’ve taken a concentrated snapshot of London, particularly the City of London, (called The City), in an endeavour to create a photography which is both pertinent and contemporary.
I’m concerned here with how to photograph today’s city.
Is it enough, like street photographers of old, to candidly record the churn of modern life, the disorderly vitality of a city’s streets?
Or have other factors crept into twenty-first century living that alter the city’s orderliness or cohesiveness?
What new external influences play upon a city’s people, and how, and at what point in our increasingly designed environment, do those influences manifest change in these peoples’ behaviour?
– How might a street photographer today therefore capture and record these changes?
