About this project

Street-style portraits at Paternoster Square, one look at a time.

One square in the City, one grey afternoon, and a long run of portraits. The set is built the way street style is built — someone steps out of the crowd, the frame closes around what they are wearing, and they step back in. Pillbox hats and patchwork, gele and gold cuffs, agbada and houndstooth, a birdcage veil. Shot against pale stone and steel shutters, so the clothes carry all of the colour.

A man in a dark green double-breasted suit and a tan leather harness bag, hands folded in front of him, a Paternoster Square sign and other guests out of focus behind.

Stills

The same look with one hand raised to the frame of her sunglasses, a gold ring on her finger, the printed lapels bright at the edge of the frame.
Three-quarter length, hands on hips, the full patchwork coat visible — green, blue and printed panels split by a red vertical stripe, a black box bag held at the waist.
The same coat photographed from further back, the wearer walking through a busy street with other guests blurred either side.
A woman in a black hat, sunglasses and a long printed coat over a white shirt and black trousers, walking toward the camera across a paved square with a colonnade and bronze animal sculptures behind her.
Three guests together — a woman in a magenta pleated gown and a wide blue hat, a man in a teal satin suit, and a guest in a printed long coat and black cap.
The woman in the magenta gown mid-stride, the pleated skirt swinging out, a green woven bag held in both hands and a wide blue brim shading her face.

A woman in a fuchsia and purple agbada with a matching gele and layered amber beads, standing on a London street with a red bus and traffic barriers behind.

A woman in a green gele and an orange, green and navy striped gown, one hand raised toward her head, a red brick building out of focus behind her.
The same striped gown and green gele photographed among other guests, a gold cuff on each wrist and a green bag at her side.
Standing between two steel bollards on the street, one hand lifted to her sunglasses, the striped skirt falling full to the ground.
The same look turned slightly away, a hand at her chin and a pleated green clutch held against her waist.
A closer frame of a green gele over sunglasses, a navy, pink and orange striped wrap, gold cuffs on both wrists and a green leather clutch held in front.
A woman in a black birdcage fascinator and cat-eye sunglasses lifting one hand to the frames, in a green geometric print dress with a tan waist belt.

A woman in a sage green off-the-shoulder mini dress with long fitted sleeves and a cream feather fascinator, standing in the square.
The same dress from behind and to the side as she turns back to the camera, smiling, black court shoes on the pale paving.

A man in a pale mint double-breasted check suit and a green striped tie, one hand at his button, standing in an ornate hall with a palm and a brass balustrade behind him.
The same suit in profile, a tight frame on his face and shoulder, warm hanging lights out of focus down the hall.

A close portrait of the same man — round dark sunglasses, green cap, the emerald lapel and gold buttons filling the lower frame.
A close portrait of a man in glasses and a teal blazer over a grey waistcoat, a gold lapel pin and a folded patterned pocket square.
The same man walking the street in a full teal suit, a grey overcoat folded over one arm and a checked holdall in his hand.
