LIFE IN LOCK DOWN

When lockdown began in the UK on 23 March photographer JJ Waller responded with an idea that enabled him to safely interact by photographing people in his home city of Brighton, looking out at the outside world through their windows and glass doors.

Very quickly via social media he received three invitations: the very first was from the mother of a young girl, Sadie, and her mother. “I took a picture of Sadie gazing inquisitively through the patterned glass of her front door, a picture that had a profound effect on me. I knew at that point the project could be a significant documentation of a unique period in our history,” he says.
