There are unfortunately many people who go through their daily lives feeling as though they are alone, and this photography collection by Rupert Vandervell represents the feeling of being by yourself.
Entitled 'Man on Earth,' this series of pictures displays one solitary person in each shot. It evokes the feeling of being the last person on earth, or that even with the streets crowded, you still feel like you are by yourself. By only using black and white photography, the lack of colors eliminates any positivity. This series is depicted as being a metropolis, and it perfectly displays the vibe some get from getting lost in the fast-paced environment of a city. This collection by Rupert Vandervell is a stunning portrayal of the feeling of being alone.
