Earlier this week, I visited central London to take the last new image for my urban landscape photography ebook. Now, I’m social distancing as directed and as I look at the images I took, I’m shocked at how deserted the city looks.

Pavements are empty, traffic is sparse, shops are quiet. This city has changed.

As this pandemic runs its course, the changes will remain in place for some time. I’m full of questions. I wonder how photography will capture this changed city: in the expressions of its inhabitants; in the state of its high streets; or in its service workers?

Right now, there is speculation that London may be locked down. How will this be recorded? Will there be a definitive image?

In addition to staying safely distanced, I will be photographing as much as I can. I want to record this time. I wonder how others will do this? We shall see.
