I am a Norwich university of the arts graduate who specialiseses in fashion photography utilising environmental portraiture to feature clothing in it's unique landscape tailored to its origin and functionality. I use digital and medium format for my projects. However, I also like to experiment with other mediums for personal projects such as Infrared.
Rural fashion and Origins depicts fashion and the rural life that influences and surrounds it. Styled on my twin brother I worked to display the clothing in its natural authenticity. Living in rural Suffolk I take my developing aesthetic and apply it to areas I grew up in taking everyday shots but changing them into something new. Documenting traditional menswear with a contemporary lifestyle much of my project features areas around the coast as I curate and coordinate my styling to the colour of the environment. In reflection of the clothing's origin it is handmade in England and is environmental and biodegradable.
As I move between home and the city the place I grew up in becomes a buffer, a zone, a transitional state which both I and the viewer will look upon with a fresh perspective. Though I do photograph without the thought of what I would like to express or say through my work, I prefer to photograph without a state of being or ‘myself’. I do not take photographs for myself but rather with the intention that emotions of the viewers will be inserted into the images such as a sense of serenity or perhaps displacement. I want to be as selfless as possible when it comes to my projects with the intention of creating a sequence of images the viewers can gain a cue of memories or interpretations and project them onto my work.
