East End

East End – Click on the image to view image sequence.

Over the last year and a half I have been taking photographs around the East End of London. During this time I have been attempting to make interesting photographs of the everyday and unremarkable in the tradition of what is often referred to as “deadpan” photography. Initially inspired by William Eggleston’s ability of finding drama in the everyday, my intentions can best be summed up by Andreas Mass as he talks about his own work and that of Levi Wedel;

“I love the bright light of the banal that is often not seen or crowded out. My wish is to capture daily life with a sense of aesthetics without making the aesthetics appear constructed or even visible at all…”

This is a selection from this series of photographs which I have now put together in a book which is hopefully making its way to me at this very moment. I will also at some stage get round to showcasing this stuff more comprehensively online.
