Medium: C-Type Print on Fuji Matt Paper
Dimensions: Print Size: 18.5" x 12.9" (Printed Area: 16.5" x 11")
Description: Captured on a sweltering summer day aboard the Metropolitan Line, this evocative black and white photograph delves into the transient moments that define urban life. The central figure, a man cooling himself with a magazine, anchors the composition. The rhythmic motion of his fanning is captured at a low shutter speed, creating a blur that merges his presence with the ghostly figure on the magazine’s cover. This blending of the magazine’s subject with the reality of the scene introduces a surreal quality, reflecting the hazy intersection of personal thoughts and external impressions during a commute.
In the window behind him, the reflections of other passengers, including the photographer himself, add layers of depth and narrative to the image. The photographer, visible as the male figure wearing a hat, is subtly integrated into the scene, capturing the moment as both participant and observer. This inclusion deepens the connection between the viewer and the photograph, inviting them to consider the role of the photographer in the narrative.
The composition is framed by the familiar map of the Metropolitan Line, situating the scene in a specific locale while also underscoring the universal experience of travel and introspection. The photograph not only documents a day on the London Underground but also explores the themes of identity, anonymity, and the fleeting connections that occur in shared public spaces.

Title: The Speed of the City
Medium: C-Type Print on Fuji Matt Paper
Dimensions: Print Size: 18.5" x 12.9" (Printed Area: 16.5" x 11")
Description:
Captured near Old Street Station, this striking street photograph encapsulates the rhythm and motion of urban life. Two women in a classic red convertible glide through the streets, their expressions composed yet focused, embodying both the freedom and intensity of city living. The blurred background enhances the sense of speed, contrasting the fleeting nature of the moment with the sharp clarity of the subjects.
The image was taken spontaneously while I was waiting at the traffic lights on my way to Grind Coffee Shop. As the car approached from my right, I instinctively pressed the shutter just before the lights turned green, freezing this passing moment in time. The presence of the two women inside immediately drew my attention, adding a compelling narrative to the frame.
While I’m not a car enthusiast, this particular model has always been a dream of mine—something I’ve long imagined either owning or at least driving. This photograph comes from my London street photography archive, taken during my years living in the city.
Framed by the ever-moving streets of London, The Speed of the City reflects themes of transience, ambition, and the fleeting beauty of everyday encounters.

Medium: C-Type Print on Fuji Matt Paper
Dimensions: Print Size: 18.5" x 12.9" (Printed Area: 16.5" x 11")
Description:
Captured on Brushfield Street, London, near Spitalfields Market, this photograph encapsulates a quiet, introspective moment amidst the bustle of city life. A young woman, wrapped in a thick hooded coat, walks through the street, holding a takeaway lunch. The soft textures of the coat’s lining contrast with the urban setting, reinforcing a sense of isolation and comfort.
The scene suggests a familiar midday ritual—stepping out of work for a quick lunch, lost in thought while navigating the city’s rhythm. Behind her, the street unfolds with layers of movement: a cyclist passing by, shopfront mannequins frozen in their displays, and parked cars framing the background. The combination of stillness and motion captures the everyday beauty of London’s streets—where personal moments unfold against the backdrop of a constantly shifting cityscape.
This image is part of my London street photography archive, taken during my time living in the city.
