EXTRACT FROM EDITOR’S LETTER:

“It used to be that big capitals had a reputation for making individuals feel anonymous. You could get lost in the crowd. These days the city sees everything. London is one of the most watched places on earth, and there are many different types of watchers.

SURVEILLANCE may seem like an ominous theme  – but we think it’s a really important one. Not all surveillance has to be sinister, but understanding how technologies are being used and what this means on a personal level makes us more informed citizens. Knowledge is power.

In classic LONDNR style, we’ve tried to come at the topic from many different angles. We’ve got a beautiful feature on young street photographer, Alfie White, who turns people watching into art, a satire on workplace spying, a hard-hitting interview with a civil rights group, and an eerily stylish photoshoot inspired by the famous book and Netflix film, The Voyeur’s Motel.”
