Description
During Sydney’s lockdown, I spent much of my time capturing the city’s empty streets. One of the most striking locations was Martin Place, known for its iconic landmarks and stunning architecture. Normally a hub of activity in the heart of the Central Business District, the pandemic transformed it into a quiet, almost subdued space. My goal was to photograph the usually bustling Colonnades beneath The Fullerton Hotel, now eerily still. With no office workers, shoppers, or tourists in sight, I waited 30 minutes for the perfect moment to capture the empty scene—a rare glimpse of solitude in such a vibrant area.
The stillness was surreal, interrupted only by the faint rustle of the wind. I was drawn to the play of light and shadow: the deep shadows of The Colonnades sharply contrasted against the sunlight reflecting on the polished stone floor. The choice of black and white photography enhances the timeless elegance and sophistication of this moment in history.
