Street Photography nominee

LONDON DX is series of double exposure of the different streets and areas of London that captures the surroundings and locations where the Londoners may cross on their way to work as landmarks. It reveals the true essence of the daily life of Londoners in one of the most if not the most cosmopolitan and challenging city in the world.

All pictures were taken with my 35mm film camera applying the double exposure technique using 400ISO and/or 800ISO colour film on my way to work to my photography studio in South West London and on my everyday basis trying to capture the mood and the energy that this incredible city offers.
