I grew up around cameras and have always loved photography. Being a bit of an introvert, my camera would do the talking for me! I used to shoot a lot of architecture, and always tried to avoid portraiture because it involves interacting face-to-face with people I do not know.
And then COVID-19 turned everyone’s world upside down. Suddenly, I could not go out to take pictures of all those beautiful buildings that London has aplenty and I was stuck inside my flat, luckily with another human, Silchris!
