In this series of contemporary pictures, Tom Capon has focused on the tide of humanity flowing through the streets of Oxford, and down Oxford Street, London. We see an optimistic world of glamour and youth. He shows the weekend shoppers and the strollers, along the catwalks of these cities. In these impressive images, ordinary people are shown going about their ordinary lives. Capon makes us aware of subtle details that give an insight into modern times; he includes the desirable icons of our time- mobile phones, jewellery, watches, fashion, sunglasses, designer bags. These lyrical photographs are compelling for the way they offer a sense of optimism and energy, showing endless movement and constant drama
