In July 1999, Nina Simone gave a rare performance as part of Nick Cave’s Meltdown Festival. After the show, in a state of awe, Warren Ellis crept onto the stage, took her piece of chewed gum from the piano, wrapped it in her stage towel and put it in a Tower Records bag. The gum remained with him for twenty years; a sacred totem, his creative muse, growing in significance with every passing year. In 2019, Cave – his collaborator and great friend – asked Warren if there was anything he could contribute to display in his Stranger Than Kindness exhibition. Warren realised the time had come to release the gum. Here, we reflect on how something so small, and of little apparent significance, can form beautiful connections between people.

This work is a beautiful, disturbing and at times uplifting visual account of London’s first lockdown in arch 2020: the economy was all but shutdown yet many people felt closer to each other and to nature. What did Covid mean for London life? The answer was (and is still) not clear but the pandemic has made us question the very purpose of a city: Do we still need it? Can London ever return to normal? These images of eerie empty streets, people playing in rivers, views from tower blocks, stories from the NHS and more show the varied and dramatic effect that the virus has had on our urban as well as emotional lives.

London is unique for its multitude of green spaces, which occupy some of the most expensive real estate in the world, but yet remain free and communal for all.

This isn’t a book about how to take the best pictures. It’s not even about the technical aspects of photography or how to ‘make it’ as a photographer. In fact, it argues that you should take fewer photographs. By sharing 10 practices honed over a lifetime spent behind the lens working with clients such as Adidas, Levi Strauss and Apple, photographer Andrew Paynter encourages you to develop a more considered approach to photography so that you craft pictures with care. ‘Do Photo’ teaches novice, intermediate and advanced photographers – and everyone in between – how to use their cameras to connect with subjects in a meaningful way, create memorable and more impactful photographs, and curate a body of work that represents who they are.
