Organised by The Photography Foundation
TPF TALKS: A space for the next gen of photographers to learn, collaborate & ask questions.
About this event
TPF TALKS is a platform to amplify under-represented voices & professionals working in the industry to encourage the next generation of photographers and creatives to be part of the conversation & build their networks.
For this talk we're excited to be joined by Francis Augusto. Born in Angola, Francis Augusto is a London-based artist. He moved to London at six with his mother and older brother as asylum seekers from the civil war. Inspired by his upbringing and sociology degree, Francis' practice takes an observational method of image-making, candidly chronicling facets of everyday life. He captures the moments that make us human.
His works primarily centre on the themes of interaction, mundanity, and joy while adopting an ethnographic approach. Francis looks to invite the viewer into the scene, creating an intimate familiarity with the people, place, or story captured. This approach is easily identifiable in the intimacy of his artworks and commercial work.
