Photographer Meg Khan has been documenting East Londoners since 2020, creating a panoramic collection of vivid images and stories entitled SEEN. Here you can see my selection from more than four hundred portraits she has taken over the past five years, all of which are to be found on her website.

Meg described the genesis of her burgeoning project to me: ‘In 2020, when the world came to a sudden halt I sat notebook in hand on my balcony, writing the names of everyone I knew. An idea I had carried in my heart for some time found room to surface. One by one, over the coming days and weeks, I worked my way through the list sharing my desire to meet, to sit opposite one another, for the storyteller in me to see the storyteller in them.’
