Captured on the bustling streets of London, this image distils the movement and energy of the city into a single, candid frame. Inspired by legendary street photographers like Gary Winogrand, who often explored the raw, unvarnished side of urban life, this photograph portrays the subject enveloped in her own world, her expression introspective amidst the blur of city life around her.

Shot in black and white to enhance the stark contrasts and deep textures of the urban environment, this choice of medium underscores the timeless nature of the scene, emphasising the universal feelings of isolation and contemplation that can occur even in the most crowded settings. The photograph is part of a series inspired by the UK jazz scene, whose rhythms resonate with the ebb and flow of the city, influencing the dynamic composition and the captured moment of reflection.
