The idea of capturing ‘everyday’ moments in different locations is important within my own work, as I feel that it is important to create a historic record of place that is evidently true to the subject matter, but also artistic and captivating by nature. By capturing interactions within street environments, I aim to intrigue the observer, revealing subject matter that might otherwise go unnoticed, while also celebrating the diversity of urban populations.
Diversity is not always represented in a positive manner, and in response, my work aims to establish personal connections between the subject matter and audience, so that both can better understand and appreciate each other. By doing this, I will be enabling the power that photography has to engage positively on a social level with various demographics. Whether demographics include those who are interested in travel photography, landscapes, people, history or culture, my work is designed to have a wide reach that is relatable and empathetic.
The notion of revealing connections between different groups of people and places provides a solid departure point to demonstrate how cultures intertwine and how they can be commended through documentary photography and image making. I aim to achieve this by making visual comparisons between places that I visit to demonstrate the importance of observing people, places and cultures. In turn, I hope that as my work develops, viewers will gain a positive insight that promotes social change and freedom.
