These photographs were commissioned by Richard Cloudesley’s Charity.

 I was briefed to supply images that illustrate the diversity of Islington’s people and cityscape. The trust had no budget for supporting artists or copyright clearance and needed photos that they could use in the future against new text.

I chose to shoot with a single fast lens to capture a street style in mixed conditions without obtrusive flash or excessive grain. The shallow depth of field makes bystanders unrecognisable and together with the consistent focal length and sympathetic post production gives a unity to the set.
