EDITORS COMMENTS
"Captured in the midst of chaos, this striking photograph by Carlos Grury Santos freezes a moment from the 1999 London Riots. The image is a powerful representation of defiance and resistance, as a young man stands tall, his chest bare and wet from the rain-soaked streets. His hand raises defiantly, giving "the finger" to an unseen force or authority.
The riot was sparked by a police shooting that left two men dead, leading to widespread protests and demonstrations across London. This photograph captures the raw emotion and frustration of those who took to the streets to demand justice.
Shot on film, with its characteristic grainy texture adding depth and grit to the image, this print is a testament to Santos' skill as a documentary photographer. The use of stark black and white tones heightens the sense of drama and intensity, drawing the viewer's eye directly into the heart of the action.
This photograph is not just a record of an event - it's an emotional response to injustice. It's a call to action for change, captured in all its messy complexity. As we gaze upon this image today, we're reminded that even in times of turmoil and upheaval, there are moments when individuals stand up for what they believe in with courage and conviction."
