Second Street (2021)
While the UK was still in Lockdown I decided to start taking virtual street photography in Second Life. A virtual world in which people can create an avatar and explore virtual lands and interact with other users. This series explores the virtual places people have created and the avatars people use to represent themselves.
Dog in Paris
Second Life can be used to explore far away places such as famous landmarks.
Space
Second Life is the perfect place to learn about places that are hard to visit like space!
Water Dragon
You can explore everywhere, even underwater!
Strange New Worlds
Some places people explore are completely made by other's imaginations.
Get Down With Your Bad Elf!
This was taken while nightclubs were closed in real life due to lockdown. There was nothing stopping you from doing so virtually.
