This picture was taken at the 'World Against War' demonstration in London on the 15th of March in 2008. The march wound its way through Central London before ending with a rally in Trafalgar Square, which is where I took this picture. This protester is a regular at many of the demonstrations in London. He always has a newly painted sign for each protest and is happy to pose for a photograph. There wasn't much planning behind the picture, when shooting demonstrations you do not have much time to stop and think about shots, you have to keep your wits about you and always have your finger on the shutter release.

I document as many protests as I can within the UK, especially the smaller ones as they, and the issues they promote, do not receive much mainstream media coverage. My images are always available for groups or charities to use at these demonstrations.
