Images of people taken from above inspired by the work of Henri Caritier Bresson.

I was fortunate to spend the weekend of 24th - 26th September in London and visited three exhibitions: Exposed at Tate Modern, Eadweard Muybridge at Tate Britain and the International Garden Photographer of the Year at Kew Gardens. One aspect of Exposed that interested me were the photgraphs taken when the subject was unaware but taken from above. These were by Henri Cartier Bresson in particular but Andre Kertesz also took pictures of people whilst looking down on them for his work on Reading. This inspired me to try similar photographs while in Covent Garden. Some of the results are included here.
