This month saw the end of the summer term at LCC. Since mid-April our tutorials and lectures have been online because of the pandemic. Now we have the summer months to complete our project. The photograph above is in the video I have made and since then I’ve been working on images and excerpts from interviews for inclusion in a small book.

A little while ago PHOTO MEET & NORTHERN NARRATIVES launched an Open Call related to projects affected by lock-down which would be selected for a feature. Following The Urban feature they recently selected 16 photographers who explore different aspect of rural areas and my series Beyond Land was included in The Rural feature, re-contextualised in this age of lock-down.

Since mid-March it’s been very rare for me to travel out of my neighbourhood, but a week ago I returned to the riverbank in south-east London where I have photographed since 2008.

Here’s one of many photographs taken that day.
