"'PANIC BUYERS WELCOME' is a portrait of the more surreal moments I've witnessed while walking the streets of east London during lockdown. I began to document London for VICE on the 16th of March, when it became apparent that life in the city was changing due to the threat of coronavirus. I found that the photos I'd seen of London's apparently 'empty' streets and landmarks were mostly disingenuous, so turned my camera onto the people cropped out of other photographers' frames.
"When the lockdown was announced on the 23rd of March I felt it would be irresponsible to keep going into the city, so instead turned my focus to places not too far from my home. The photos tell a light hearted story of the stranger moments in daily life during an epidemic. Moments that, just four or five months ago, would have made absolutely zero sense."
