Printed on silk art papers, Hugo's photography book and serving as a reminder to us all of just how crazy the first lockdown was when there really were NO people at all on the streets of the capital. It’s a haunting reminder and a stunning coffee table photo book and conversation piece.

All the photography is from the super-talented teenager Hugo Berman.

50% of proceeds go towards the purchase of essential ICU equipment at Chelsea & Westminster Hospital.

This premium photography book documents a year of lockdown in London. From famous landmarks to lesser-known corners of the city, these strange but absorbing images tell the story of a metropolis in silence, of deserted streets and of architectural details often overlooked when the streets are bustling with people. Through the prism of my lens, I have assembled a work of collective memory that will play an important role in remembering this unprecedented period in history and the drastic effect that COVID-19 has had on our urban life.
