Issue 06: The Surveillance Issue (PDF Download)

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.
