Exhibition
June, 2017
The beauty that can be found in everyday life is something that really intrigues me. I am particularly interested in capturing and exploring those moments and emotions of the appreciation of beauty. It has always been very important to me from the start that the people and places I am capturing are very close to me in order to create work that feels authentic and raw.
Through my work I hope to portray an idyllic dream-state image, romanticizing the mundane through photographing simple objects, differently lit and positioned. Whilst capturing my friends in their natural state, focusing on raw and real emotions. I work with 35mm analogue photography.
My current work is based on a set of 15 images presented in an exhibition shown in the Herbert Read Gallery, as well as a hand bound book titled Femme/Homme. I wanted the focus of the exhibition to be based on moments, with lighting and colour being the two main elements portrayed.
