Lookback at life in lockdown

A NATIONAL and international awardwinning Staffordshire-based photographer has released a new book of images which focused on the pandemic period.

Ian Knight, also known as Z70 Photography, has produced a visual record of events.

Ian said: “It is coming up to four years since the first UK Covid-19 lockdown and I thought it was time to show my view of the pandemic.

“I first got the idea to compile this when the public inquiry evidence sessions started taking place and the memories of what we were all told came flooding back.

“Not everyone complied with instructions, not everyone was happy, but a large majority did what they were told for the public good.

“What this book contains is mainly a record of signs and information presented in the streets and shops. From the empty shelves at the start, warnings on social distancing, to the vaccination hubs, and eventually the restrictions being relaxed.

“All from our suddenly limited world in and around the Stafford area, and then slightly beyond as restrictions eased. Not all of the images are perfect, and quite a few aren’t in themselves interesting,” added Ian, “but I think they all add up to a fascinating insight and record of the pandemic as seen from a Staffordshire point of view.”

The book, Signs of Covid, is being sold via Amazon and is available now.
