STOLEN




My work is currently being shown at the STOLEN show at Arden & Anstruther Gallery, Petworth. The 'comfort' project featured earlier in this blog is on show there. Volenteers for this project were randomly asked to swap clothes, regardless of their shape, size or gender. They were photographed in a controlled studio environment and the results have been compiled into a book.

South Africa - Wola Nani

In January 2010 I won a place to accompany Kingston University lecturers Simon Maidman, Catherine McDermott and Rebecca Wright on a research trip to Capetown as a documetary photographer. I spent 10 days visiting various townships and meeting people asscociated with Wola Nani (a non government organisation that bring relief to the communities hardest hit by the HIV crisis). I am currently designing a website to hold all of the information from the project but for now here are a few of the images.

COMFORT

This self initiated project explored the nature of comfort by questioning why we wear certain clothes. We took two names from participants at random and photographed them in their own clothes followed by their chosen partners outfit.

IN BETWEEN

Living in London and Devon at the same time creates quite a contrast and sometimes makes me question were I really belong. I feel attached to both, yet like I don't belong to either at the same time. I have represented this by creating digital montages that question the viewers perception of reality.

Fashion

I recently did a photo shoot in Brick Lane as a collaboration with a fashion student and a graphic design student at Kingston University. They were made into a fashion look book to showcase a range of dresses.

KINGSTON UNIVERSITY DEGREE SHOW 2009

As part of the the Kingston University Degree Show 2009 some of my photographs were published within the fine art catalogue. I was asked to capture some of the most used and most memorable areas of the university, the images were placed in 6 double page spreads and featured at intervals though-out the rest of the catalogue.
