Here are some B&W photos I took for a photography assignment at Uni. The theme for the assignment was "View of the Slave, View of the master"- Looking at power relations within photographs. While in the city, I came across this intense and visually stimulating game of chess being played in Hyde Park, right outside St James station. The game was drawing in lots of people who were passing by and couldn't help but watch the game unfold. ( including me) I was intrigued by the various people watching, there eyes seemed transfixed on the chess pieces as they slowly moved around on the bored. They were oblivious to the fact that they each were becoming slaves to the game.
