From the series Walking in London 2 published by Alan Cristea Gallery in 2014. I rented a high-powered camera and, with the help of my assistants, set about filming people on the streets. In order not to disturb the models and make them look my way, we filmed from far away with a long lens. Unlike my former models I did not know the names of these people so I tried to guess their professions in order to have a title for each one. I like the way solicitor or waitress or teacher, defines them and encourages one to make assumptions even though it’s clearly just a guess. - JulianOpie, 2015
