'In A Single Moment' Photograph - Limited Edition of 1

My photography concerns the relationship between people and the spaces they inhabit, and how it can influence and direct the way human beings express their true nature. I create images with the desire to reveal and give breath to the subtleties of these relationships. The starting point for ‘A Single Moment’ arose while sitting in a friend’s garden, adjacent to the promenade in Whitstable, Kent. As I sat, watching people participating in ritualistic walking my natural temptation to observe, which one has, was to gaze at those walking past, also precipitated, in turn, the passers-by to gaze back, which begged the question who was watching who? My intention was to create a series of artworks that applies the nuances of the CCTV culture but initiates another way of observing human behaviour at its most unguarded and offers us the incidental and quirky moments often not seen. Conventional image making makes the face the starting point for individual identification; the passport photograph, the school portrait, the mug shot etc. apparently reveal identity. However, by consciously selecting a frame that cuts off the faces of the passers-by, focusing exclusively on the torso I wanted to consciously break with this tradition and create a series of artworks that attempts to redefine how it is possible to view and interpret identity beyond the face.
