A photographer who travelled nearly 1,000 miles has published a book capturing dozens of images of life in lockdown.

At the start of lockdown last March, Hannah Drimer, from Edgware, decided to undertake a new project to record the unprecedented new way of life.

The 25-year-old reached out to families, roommates, individuals, actors, musicians, couples and those with newborns, to take their photographs, usually outside their homes, with objects that represented their time in lockdown.

She racked up just under 1,000 miles cycling and driving across London, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, and Essex.

In total, she collected 118 narratives, which she has collated into a book, titled Lockdown Living 2020.

Hannah said: "I was keen to expand my photography portfolio, take on a new challenge and create a positive impact. I asked those involved to hold an object that represented their time in lockdown in a positive light.

"One crocheted a whole outfit, another made and distributed scrubs to nurses and doctors, there were people learning languages while another used it as a time to improve playing the guitar.

"The project started close to home, but when lockdown rules relaxed slightly, I started cycling all over London with my DSLR camera."

The book, which has been officially launched, is available to buy on Hannah's website, with 10 per cent of all proceeds going to the Big Issue Foundation charity.

Reflecting on her project, Hannah added: "Many people told me after visiting them and taking their photographs, how much it made their day having a change and something to dress up and look forward to.

"Not every narrative was positive, but in almost all circumstances there was hope for the future.

"For some the lockdown was, and still is, a challenge mentally, but hopefully people will be able to read and relate to the stories told, sometimes smile and take a positive message forward."
