I was contacted and asked if I could attend an event in London as the photographer was ill. After a flood of nerves washed over me, I decided that, yes, I would go and do it. So, I packed my iPad and old Canon 400D, jumped on the train, and headed off to London. I arrived at my destination of Piccadilly Circus and soon lost my nerves as I began to document the event.
When I got home, I spent quite some time sorting through photos, compiling a video and uploading them to social media. The video set to Moby’s ‘Memory Gospel’ and ‘Wait For Me ‘ achieved thousands of views, which gave me the courage and determination to press on.
This event ignited my love for protest photography.
Photographs and videos featured on Vegfest Express online vegan magazine, FBI Animals, and published in The Metro (2020)
