By Veronica Evers

Veronica Evers is a London-based photographer
specialising in black and white documentary photography.
Born in Vancouver and raised in Prague and Berlin, an
appreciation of the arts was a fundamental aspect of her
upbringing. During her time in Prague, she spent seven
years at the National Theatre; an experience which has
come to define her unique lens. Her work brings the
drama, theatrical lighting and intensity of the stage to the
everyday world of London.
Initially focusing on nature and architecture, Evers soon
transitioned to street photography with a human element,
capturing the city’s energy and the day-to-day life of its
inhabitants. To develop her technical skills, she sought the
mentorship of World Photo Press winner Jan Sibik.
In the Moment of Seeing is Evers’ first solo exhibition in the
UK. The works are filled with light and shadow, theatrical
compositions and emotion – a feeling intensified by
the recent lockdown when these images were captured.
Through her eye, the world is heightened and distilled and
loaded with narrative potential. The subject becomes the
actor, the public space becomes the stage and Veronica,
the spectator.
