Photography, Power & Others |Positions & Practice

The question of power balance is more at the forefront of my mind now than it would have been at the start of my practice. Starting out as a photojournalist the balance probably lay mostly with the audience in that the newspaper needed certain types of images and press photographers and photojournalists are generally trained to seek out those images, and in some circumstances manipulate scenarios for the purpose of illustrating a story.

Nature & Culture | Positions & Practice

Nature – our traditional interpretation and associations of the term – features quite frequently in my work from my Time and Place mini-project exploring the ‘nature’ and identity of a place to my current larger project looking at the sea.

Coast to Coast – March | Return to the sea | London artist & photographer

The Sea, the Sea! At last – a return to the sea!

With the news of the roadmap out of lockdown – and that university students on practical courses can resume their practical studies (and my project for my MA Photography is indeed the sea!) – I packed up my camera bags, some sandwiches and a flask of coffee and headed seawards.

Audiences and Institutions | Positions & Practice

In today’s era of social media Instagram must be the largest audience for photos and reaching an audience than any other in the history of art works. And yet its proliferation is also its downfall as a means of promoting your work as it is hard to stand out from the crowd and everyone has a camera these days. As Jurgenson notes it is more of a conversation with an audience than a means of exhibiting and the very nature and volume of the work posted on there, means it rapidly disappears down the feed never to be seen again.

Words and pictures | Positions & Practice

Text has often played an important role in my work, in particular in my Motherhood and Identity: Tattooed Mamas Breaking the Taboos and later in my Motherhood project.

While Barthes refers to the parasitic quality of text in association with images, I think this depends to a degree on context and the type of image.

Interdisciplinary Practice | Positions & Practice

I have been increasingly exploring video and audio and incorporating them into my work flow and as a tool for expressing myself. In the last year I’ve made a couple of short mindful-based films exploring specific concepts, linked to my personal identity – namely the sea and my allotment. I’m intending to include some video and audio elements within my project on the sea – potentially voiceover and audio of interview subjects intermingled with video clips and photo imagery.

The Call of the Sea: IRP planning | Positions & Practice

Lockdown has forced me to think about me perspective on the sea in a more introspective manner than I’d intended when I started thinking about a project examining the sea and our relationship with it as individuals, but it has thrown up some interesting concepts and musings.

THE POWER OF LOVE | Passion projects that inspire creativity | FujiLove Feature | London photographic artist

Whether your interest piqued by the intricate detail of flowers or the vastness of empty skies; the complexities of the human condition or interesting faces; the humour and ridiculousness of life or documenting its darker side, there’s a personal passion project to inspire and spark a creative wandering.

As a London photographic artist and family and business photographer, it’s important to keep the creativity flowing.

For me it all started with doors …

Coast to Coast – February: Memories of the sea, Part Two | London family photographer

Lockdown has forced me to think about me perspective on the sea in a more introspective manner than I’d intended when I started this project, but it has thrown up some interesting concepts and musings.

Last month I pondered on the water cycle using the snowfall as a means to contemplate water molecules trapped in snow, as a metaphor for how we found ourselves in lockdown – misplaced, adrift even.

For February’s perspective I’ve thought more about how our memories of the sea are closely associated with our relationship to it. And I’ve looked for clues within the city that remind us of the coast.
