If you are fortunate enough to be attending Photo London this week you will find a selection of works from my finally completed series ‘The Sound of Space Breathing’ on Stand F12 with The Photographers’ Gallery.
During the recent printing of these works @bayeux_ltd I was continuously absorbed in the final stage of the Photographic process as new details emerged through enlargement. Using a large format camera to produce 5x4’’ negatives allows for detail that is perhaps not always seen by the naked eye to emerge with scale. These features enhance the sensory feel I am trying to engender in my response to Nature.
Whereas the human eye darts about in its absorption of detail the camera lens records all with equal precedence, once translated to a silver gelatin print format in the darkroom the larger works take on a cinematic feel that bares repeated looking, renewed under differing lighting conditions as it is through the degree of attention given.
Having spent so long looking to create this series it interests me to gauge the response of those new to the work, if you are seeing these works in London, I would encourage you to take in the detail and if not there this week, then you may have the chance to see the work at The Photographers’ Gallery @tpgprintsales from May 27th until July 24th.

New work by Nicholas Hughes - on show now at PhotoLondon! 🌿
Drawn from his latest body of work created over seven years, these images represent a photographic journey both literally and figuratively. Using his immediate landscape as both a meditative and inspirational resource, Hughes regularly set out with his large-format camera travelling the many footpaths around his home leading to the Cornish coast. Rendered in silvery greys and deep blacks, the prints are luminous in quality and reveal the rich tonal range of natural light.

Gohar Dashti on show now at PhotoLondon! 🌾
The Photographers’ Gallery is pleased to present a selection of work from Gohar Dashti’s (b.1980, Iran) celebrated series Home at the 2022 edition of Photo London. Dashti's large-scale, conceptual photographic work draws upon her experiences growing up during the Iran-Iraq war. Rooted in ideas of connection to, and disconnection from, her own home, Dashti’s images are equally charged with universal ideas of displacement, migration, and belonging. Meticulously constructing singular, often surreal, scenes, her process can be likened to that of a film-maker, creating visual meditations on the effects of geo-political conflict, and what is left behind.
Today we are excited to be welcoming our first visitors, for the VIP preview day! 🥂 Visit @photolondonfair for tickets and further information.
