We received word to prepare a statement and image that will be implemented into the catalogue so I focused statement on detailing my personal story of photography and the narrative I’m trying to build with my exhibition show
The Statement:
“My personal intrigue within the realms of photography comes from my journeys I have of the day to day. I tend to focus on documentation within a mix of urban and natural environment and try to observe the ongoing of the landscape as well as look out for hidden details that are often overlooked by the public.
This stems from my personal ability to always be observant even when I’m not doing photography at the time I tend to look around and memorise spots I can use for future works.
The objective of this project was to gather a selection of photos that are based around various cities that will be focused on documenting unique angles and hidden places that are often overlooked. I aim unravel and reveal the hidden perspectives you can find snooping throughout a city all the way from the historical landscapes to the typical street.”
The Image:
I went with this image because it detailed a donuts shop hidden away from the public as it is surrounded by not just the wall but also the nearby shops that cover it away. I felt this image showed a strong visual of what my photos are trying to showcase in terms of hidden place in a tourist hotspot. The photo though seems to suffer some issues that I need to look into so hopefully that will be sorted soon.
