Artist Photo Series: Life After Lockdown: Mark, musician and artist
Mark by Lisa Brown Photography

Q&A with musician and artist Mark

What have you been up to during lockdown? 

Sorting the outhouse at the back of ours out; putting all my toys, art and records in some sort of order, emptying boxes that have been sealed for over 30 years (a real education/history lesson). I’ve kept every postcard, letter, badge, flyer and all manner of other things sent to me over the years. I also started cooking following cookbooks, writing lyrics and logging dreams. And best of all has been family time and interesting walks around Longton.

What are your plans for Life After Lockdown?

Give my folks a kiss and hug.

The ‘Life After Lockdown’ Photographic Project 

The Life After Lockdown photographic project was started in June 2020, following the British government’s move towards easing the lockdown measures put in place to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. Lisa Brown, a photographer and writer living and working in Preston, wanted to find out how local people had spent their time during lockdown and what plans they had for ‘Life After Lockdown’. 

About the Photographer

Lisa Brown is a photographer born and brought up in Preston. She left Preston to study Fashion Journalism at the London College of Fashion and subsequently worked at a number of magazines where she developed a strong visual sense and passion for the printed image. 

Her first photographic exhibition, ‘Welcome to Preston’, took place at The Larder, Preston in November 2019. 

The selection of images Lisa has shared with The Living City project were all taken during the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown, in April and May 2020.
