A London neighborhood captured by Marko Nardecchia gets transformed into a blurry world of emotion.

ec3 is a postcode set in the south-east part of the city of London. Fully immersed in the financial business, home to the Lloyds, the Gherkin and Leadenhall Market amongst others, EC3 is a place where everyone seems to run toward something, whether it be the last train home, stocks, a lawsuit or a sandwich, the atmosphere is fully packed with and tension. As a designer here, I love wandering the streets of London looking for interesting spaces and faces and try to mirror them into pictures.

Since I started photograph, I always loved black and white, sad, gloomy, moody and grainy pictures, and this is the way I see what surrounds me.

No day goes by without thinking of photography, but the more I think of it the more I wonder what can be done with photography. I have no answers, but I sure like to think about it.
