For a couple of years in the late 2000s, the photographer John Goto, who died Aug 2, 2023, aged 74 of hypersensitivity pneumonitis, and his wife Celia, a psychoanalyst, posed for a series of images he titled West End Blues. Singly or together, they stood in profile in front of restaurants and theatres around Soho, London, in costumes dating from the end of the first world war to the end of the Vietnam conflict. Their figures were then Photoshopped out of the resulting photographs, leaving negative images like the ones silhouetted on walls by a nuclear blast.
