Urban Light Phenomenon

Currently MI8 are involved in collecting and studying the brilliant Urban Light Phenomenon across London. The study has been given the tag name of Project Centurion. London at night is a truly beautiful place, but imagine what it would it be like if we were suddenly visited by strange circular lights.

The objective of my photographic project was to make us question what we see and how we make sense of it in our modern culture. Contrary to centuries ago, today's culture finds it difficult to accept a notion without proof. Notions that in the past would have been deemed divine or holy and up to religious explanation, today demand hard evidence by our connected and information-driven 'web' community. But does our constantly linked mobile & web culture really provide us with a good alternative? The images were taken across London as photographic 'evidence' of a paranormal and perhaps even mystical appearances.
