Amidst the bustle of big cities, the onlooker can witness people embracing, holding hands, and waving farewell; gestures that play out as part of the most human of routines. The moment may be fleeting, except of course when it is caught by the automated lens of a camera. <em>Through the Lens <\/em>invites you to explore a few stories of communities around the world, through the black and white photography of Roy Mehta, Zhou HanShun, and Koen Jacobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"730\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Through-the-lens-4-1.jpg?resize=580%2C730&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-91811\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Through-the-lens-4-1.jpg?w=682&amp;ssl=1 682w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Through-the-lens-4-1.jpg?resize=238%2C300&amp;ssl=1 238w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Image Hoxton Mini Press and Roy Mehta<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">The process of capturing an image can be automated, the focus of the lens is mechanical, yet these photographers show how they have mastered ways of communicating their unique emotional stance through this process.&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"582\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Through-the-lens-3.jpg?resize=580%2C582&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-91816\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Through-the-lens-3.jpg?w=682&amp;ssl=1 682w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Through-the-lens-3.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Through-the-lens-3.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Image Hoxton Mini Press and Roy Mehta<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">They evoke emotion into a 2D image allowing for a very 3D experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"583\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Through-the-lens-7.jpg?resize=580%2C583&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-91823\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Through-the-lens-7.jpg?w=682&amp;ssl=1 682w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Through-the-lens-7.jpg?resize=298%2C300&amp;ssl=1 298w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Through-the-lens-7.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Image Hoxton Mini Press and Roy Mehta<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Roy Mehta &#8216;Revival&#8217;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Roy Mehta\u2019s new book of photography \u2018Revival\u2019 embodies the emotions involved with human interaction and communities coming together.

Everything becomes quiet or muffled around him, enabling him to understand and respond to the world and his surroundings. The process enabled him to explore how people maintain spirituality in busy urban areas and in the everyday. Furthermore, the onset of the pandemic influenced his selection process, inspiring him to include emotive images focusing on human touch, and its healing effects, something we used to take for granted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"583\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Through-the-lens-5.jpg?resize=580%2C583&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-91821\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Through-the-lens-5.jpg?w=682&amp;ssl=1 682w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Through-the-lens-5.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Through-the-lens-5.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Image provided by Hoxton Mini Press and Roy Mehta<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">The nostalgic way he discusses this documentation shows his passion and admiration for his hometown.

These candid photos emote inquisitive thoughts, stirring questions such as: where is this person going? What is their background? What has caught their attention? Additionally, some of the subjects are looking back at the lens confused or perhaps taken by surprise. The body of work, can in some ways, be considered as fragmented or disjointed because of the stark differences in composition. However, this variation only adds to the levels of enjoyment, curiosity, and marvel of viewing these photographs as you try to gauge the stories behind them. The more you look at them, the more enticing and satisfying they become as you ponder Jacobs\u2019 thought process behind the composition of each shot. Jacobs tells you a story based on his understanding of the strangers he observed, engrossed in their own thoughts, daydreams, or routines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=OI-uOsfyuLk\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">YouTube clip featuring Jacobs&#8217; street photography in Brussels<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Roy Mehta, HanShun, and Koen Jacobs all use black and white street photography to document and express human interaction and routine within different cities.
