“Some people need directions when you’re taking their photo,” William Lepper says. “Some people just perform. Chani and Kamaria were definitely in the latter camp.”
Photographer Lepper was in his local area of Walthamstow, north-east London, on a sunny August afternoon this year, passing down Pretoria Avenue. He spotted Chani and her granddaughter, Kamaria, up ahead. Chani had just picked Kamaria up from nursery and was taking her to a cafe for lunch, but the pair had passed a friend along the way and stopped to chat.
