While I’m not a fan of cars per se, I love vintage design. As I flâneused around London in the locked down months of 2020, I noticed, and came to love, how the parked vehicles reflected their neighbourhoods. 70s Rolls Royces littering the back streets of Marylebone, 80s Nissans haunting the Barbican, clamped vans stationed in King’s Cross, Morrises shining in Shoreditch. On these photographs, I appreciate how sweeping curves, strong shapes or stark lines can bestow vehicles with distinct personalities. London’s architecture provides more than just a beautiful backdrop to these characters: it’s the tool that enables the viewer to decode the interrelationship of space, place and object. The linkages in those pairings are palpable: Sometimes, weeks or months later, I happened upon the same vehicle, rephotographing it in a different street, different position or different light, season, or time of day. Comparing those images, the mood is reshaped and construed in new ways.
