Spotted In Soho: Street Photography in the Age of COVID-19

British photographer and interdisciplinary artist Mish Aminoff’s self-published photography collection, “Spotted in Soho: Street Photography in the Age of COVID-19,” offers a visual storytelling account of how everyday people and communities in London’s Soho adapted to pandemic life. Through candid street photography, Aminoff captures moments of connection, resilience, and new social norms—masked couples kissing, socially distanced friends, outdoor diners, and masked tennis players—showing how life continued amid restrictions.

This collection documents the negotiation between normalcy and pandemic precautions in public space, providing photographic evidence of the social and emotional fabric of community during COVID-19. By focusing on small, candid moments, Aminoff’s work contributes concrete visual narratives that expand the databank’s scope of pandemic storytelling through imagery of lived experience.
