Lockdown London: Photographs by Jan Enkelmann show the capital at night like never before

A few days later, Jan decided that taking his camera with him on his nightly cycling excursions – his chosen form of daily exercise – was a safe way to document different parts of the city without endangering himself or others. Thus creating a Lockdown London series. "Like many others, I felt compelled to document the empty usually crowded locations," he tells Creative Boom. "But looking at the set of images I have made over the last weeks, I feel this project has taken on a life of its own. Maybe these photos are less about the lack of human presence and rather about the stillness of a city being allowed a breather to reveal a beauty that often goes unnoticed."

With Jan being one of the many creatives to be currently out of work, he's got involved with a campaign by artist Matthew Burrows called #artistsupportpledge to sell prints from his Lockdown London photo project to support himself and other artists. "The concept is a simple one," adds Jan, "you post images of your work to sell for no more than £200 each (not including shipping) and every time you reach £1,000 of sales you pledge to buy another artist's work for £200."

Jan is offering signed A3 prints for £45 each from his website. Take a look at just some of his recent shots, including an empty Camden High Street, the eery but quiet beauty of a deserted Oxford Street, and Piccadilly Circus like we never thought possible.
