London Walking
The ‘People Walking’ series has taken various forms, from focusing on legs and feet to people’s faces about to crash into me. The common theme is people in motion in an urban setting. The style is black and white in the mode of historical street photography.
This set of images were taken at intersections on busy Oxford Street in London, with me sitting on the sidewalk and the camera inches from the ground. I am shooting fast and furiously, capturing the swirl of activity around me; it is only later do I discover what I have captured. Motion, energy, and chance are themes that typically characterize my work.
