Glasgow during the COVID 19 lockdown.

I took a walk round Glasgow city centre and then up to the Charing Cross area, I found it a humbling experience, unusually quite no background chatter, peoples footsteps or the normal hum from the traffic. The eerie quietness of the empty streets brought it home, the impact the coronavirus is having on our daily lives.

When I started out I instantly thought of shooting this in black & white, looking at both the colour and b&w images side by side the later easily jumps out as the best image and with less in the image it adds more!

It was like a scene from The Walking Dead!
