The intimate stories of twelve people living and working in Leeds
through the COVID-19 pandemic have been captured in this
poignant new photography project. Through a series of compelling
and thought-provoking images, the exhibition documents a unique
chapter in the history of Leeds, exploring the human impact of the
pandemic as the city emerges from one of its most challenging
years.
Photojournalist Jude Vidal has spoken to and photographed twelve
individuals who live and work in communities in Leeds, each with
their own unique experiences including a barber, a TV producer, an
intensive care nurse and a chef.
The full journeys of those included are available online at 19cm.uk
