Interesting that he chose to photograph in (1) vertical on (2) a wide lens. (1) Sceneries in general tend to feel horizontal. But I suppose you can still find vertical perspectives with street photography given that buildings are rather vertical as well. (2) Wide angle means more coverage, showing more people in the shot, which tends to make composition difficult. Typically a good photo focuses on a subject. However, Martin Bond manages to compose and focus on a subject. Also, wide angles introduce distortion of subjects along the edge of the photo. That shows in his photos, but are not too distracting.

On his site [0] the collection is subtitled 'a portrait every day'; I think it's very deliberate, well obviously it would be, but I mean I think it's intended to be 'a portrait' where the subject is Cambridge rather than a person, in a way that just taking a photo vertically (though still a deliberate choice) isn't.

Says on his website he shot everything with a Leica Q2, if he shot with the Original Q before the Q2 came out in '19, then he shot the whole project 28mm f1.7 as that's the lens glued to the Q series.
