Businessmen and Pigeons

  • Maria Quigley
Businessmen and Pigeons is a response to the brief, 'What is your London'. Set to me and fourteen other photographers by It's Nice That on a five week intensive course partnered with Magnum Photos and Create Jobs.
I was walking around the area of St Pauls one weekday lunchtime. It was a sea of suits, a pallet of greys, brown, blacks. All hunched over some food, their heads bobbing up and down. I saw the pigeons almost mimic their behaviour, or the other way around?
The grey suited,
striding
resting
pecking
racing
chattering
opportunists.
