Photographing Londoners through windows during the lockdown - a podcast by RNZ

Looking out from Within - a series of portraits of Londoners looking out from their windows during the UK's protracted lockdown - is about to go on show at the Auckland Festival of Photography. Just as arresting as the photographs are the stories of the people who agreed to pose for them. Photographer Julia Fullerton-Batten is known for her highly cinematic, posed photographs created with a large production team. But for this series, it was just her and her teenage son helping to carry her cameras. Londoners were allowed just one hour a day out of their homes during the strictest lockdowns. Julia tells Lynn Freeman she wanted to spend hers documenting members of her community looking out of their windows onto a different world. Looking out from Within opens on the 31st of May at Silo Park as part of the Auckland Festival of Photography. And Julia will be launching a kickstarter campaign soon so she can create a book of the images.
