Character Building

For his latest project (Character building), William Radford revisited his childhood home in an attempt to shed light on the surroundings that shaped his adolescence. Taken over the course of 3 years, the series explores the notions of childhood memories and the role the environment plays. To evoke such surreal tones Radford uses a combination of the on-camera flash with coloured gels. Not only does this technique induce a dreamlike quality to the project, it also suggests the artist had a colourful childhood.
