Ed Mellor, OPPO Find X5 Pro
‘I’m not the best or most patient technical photographer in terms of setting up cameras and equipment. That is probably one of the reasons I enjoy street photography, because it’s about on the hoof composition, using the light available, and capturing a moment in time which tells, or implies, a part of a story.
I was in the City for work and early for a meeting so killing time in a cafe. London is great for street photography, particularly in the rain which adds texture and colour in the reflections. There had been lots of people filtering by, then this sole person with the bright umbrella stood out, particularly against the harsh corporate setting.’
