Capturing Moments

A Play of Light and Shadow

"Every time I go to London, I have to stop by Aime Leon Dore (ALD). Their stuff is amazing, even if it's a bit pricey," Oscar begins. "But what I love even more is their café. It's this beautifully sunlit space with a curved bench and a stunning tiled floor. This particular photo shows the doorway that takes you from the café side into the actual store. I was captivated by the way the light hit the tiles and the curtains that separate each side of the store."

The photograph, like much of Oscar's work, captures the interplay of light and shadow, creating a serene yet dynamic composition that invites viewers to step into the scene.

Contrasts in Reality and Perception

Primrose Hill is another iconic London location that found its way into Oscar's lens. "The hilltop was packed with people taking in the city view, but as we walked down, I spotted this girl sitting on a bench with her dog. She had this amazing style and cool hair, so I took the shot. It’s funny because the photo is the opposite of the reality that day – it's just her and her dog, completely chilled out, even though there were loads of people around."

This image underscores Oscar's ability to find tranquillity amidst chaos, highlighting his talent for capturing candid, unguarded moments.

A Study in Landscape

"I was drawn to this scene in Queen Mary’s Park because of the landscape – the single dead tree in the middle and the tree hanging over the water," Oscar recalls. This photograph stands out for its composition and the way it evokes a sense of stillness and contemplation.

Style in Motion

"Soho always has something interesting going on. I saw this guy crossing the road with a really cool style, and the old buildings in the background added to the charm of the shot," Oscar says. His ability to capture the essence of a place through its inhabitants is evident in this dynamic street scene.

A Serendipitous Shot

"Sometimes, you just need to finish off a roll of film," Oscar laughs. "This shot from Point Piper was one of those moments. I was on my way to drop off the film, and it turned out to be a really cool photo."

The spontaneity of this image serves as a reminder that sometimes the best shots come when you least expect them.
