'HIS PHOTOS ARE NOT JUST IMAGES OF THE NIGHT, THEY SMELL OF THE NOCTURNAL WORLD, OF DAMP GREEN AND MOSS-COVERED TREES’- CHARLOTTE VAN LINGEN ON A CLOT IN TIME.

Thank you for the interest in my work! The images you are looking at now are derived from my latest work; a Clot In Time. The work has just been published as a limited edition book, that was sold out in a matter of days. All images were shot in or around Harborne (Birmingham, UK). In the words of the publisher:

Dutch photographer Eli Dijkers went to explore his new neighbourhood, having moved from his hometown Rotterdam, The Netherlands, to Birmingham, England, when the world, in early 2020, had come to a standstill. Staying within a ray of one kilometre from his home, he discovered empty lanes, streetlights that shone for no-one, a lonely passer-by hurrying to a better place, a ghost in an abandoned city. Photographing with an eye for detail, Dijkers documented a year in which ‘lockdown’ became a familiar saying, in colour and in black and white.
