Project 3: work in progress

stills from Project 3

i think i've always been interested in shadows and subtle change in lights but these photos may have been something I would have taken in the past but they now more obviously reference the work of Uta Barth. She says the camera helped her see, it draws her attention to the visible elements around her. The process of taking a photo makes them more visible to her. 

My work involves a sense of what I'm intrigued and drawn to and the spontaneous capturing of that, instantly deciding with digital if I've captured what I want. The possibilities of instand images enable me to take a photo again. I rarely want to edit the photos apart from basic exposures or contrast, the composition doesn't get messed with as that's what has drawn my eye to start with. My eyes frame the world and the camera captures it, making real the way that I see things. It exists outside my mind then and no-one can question my experience or tell me again that it didn't really happen like that...
