Shifts

[cl_column width="2/3" css_style="padding-top:0px"][cl_column width="1/3" col_sticky="1"] Shifts For decades Street Photographs have looked the same, they have followed a well used template that was born in the 1930’s, developed a little in the 1960’s and become well and truly saturated in the 2000’s. This project deliberately shifts away from the Rangefinder and 35mm lens snap, it replaces the one-liner with a bigger, broader view of the street that takes into account not just the people but the realm they inhabit. Structures and spaces are as important in these pictures as the people who pass through them. The series combines my love of candid public photography with the order and discipline of my commissioned architectural photography. Composition, atmosphere, depth and light are used to set the scene for a tableau of figures. Date 2022 Category Street Photography Share

Exodus

Known as The City of London or The Square Mile, the area is full of impressive glass and steel landmark office buildings.On 23rd March 2020, the British Government announced a lockdown imposing new rules on the movement of the population in an effort to control the spread of the Coronavirus. Offices were closed and people were sent home to work. This has a dramatic effect on the look and feel of the Square Mile, one of the busiest districts of London was left deserted with billions of pounds worth of real estate sitting empty.

AUTOS

[cl_column width="2/3" css_style="padding-top:0px"][cl_column width="1/3" col_sticky="1"] AUTOS This project brings together two of the most prominent aspects of life in the metropolis, advertising and the automobile. Shiny new vehicles passing through the city are illuminated by huge bright screens of Coca Cola red, Samsung Orange and Xbox green. The light on the bodywork reminiscent of the ‘liquid light’ effect of much car advertising photography. These are documentary pictures of the everyday that echo the aesthetic of the high end commercial photography studio.The automobile bathed in the light of advertising is an appropriate metaphor for the omnipresence of advertising in a world where we are all sold to constantly and every one of us is classified into consumer types. The 785.5m2 screen in Piccadilly Circus, the largest in Europe, claims to have an audience of ‘City Sophisticates’, ‘Lavish Lifestyles’ and ‘Career Climbers’.
