“The City, Between Shadows” is a quiet look at London’s everyday pulse its movement, its stillness, and the small human moments that often slip past unnoticed. In this exhibition, photographer Sandeep Gupta aka "The Shooting Buddha" asks viewers to slow down with him, to stand inside the city’s rush and notice the fragments of life that pause just long enough to be seen.
Originally from Nepal, and having photographed the busy streets of Delhi and Kathmandu, Gupta now walks through London with both familiarity and distance. He sees the city as something alive never still, always shifting and made up of gestures, stories, and subtle signals that reveal themselves only to those willing to look.
In these photographs, people and architecture share the same stage. A passing figure becomes part of a line of shadow; a brief glance becomes a moment of connection. Presence meets absence. Intimacy touches isolation. London’s contradictions feel clearer, and somehow more human.
This collection isn’t meant to document the city. It’s a series of encounters small truths caught in the middle of movement, held still for a moment before they disappear again.
“The City, Between Shadows” is an invitation to pause, look closely, and notice the traces of life that flicker through London every day.
