Ordinary Is Extraordinary
The style that i'm developing is caught in a surreal, fantasist realm with a gritty realist underline. Here are some photos of our throw away society of today. We are all obsessed with 'reality', reality tv shows, whether that be the likes of Goggle Box, or Big Brother, we're fascinated with how other people live. I really enjoyed this exercise, and I'm happy with the images I got. When I look at them, I want to know the peoples story, where they came from.
I find Southampton, quite a 'rough' place to live, but looking back over these photos I have found a beautiful vulnerability. There is a naivety to the locals, and this is a side I hadn't been exposed to before.
I love how a photo can provoke a feeling, transport you to an emotion you may not have felt through your own experiences, but you feel it right down to your core by looking and engaging in a snippet of somebody else's life.
Nan Goldin is and always has been one of my favourite photographers, below are some of my favourite images of her, that transported me to a deeper feeling than younger self had felt through my own experiences.
Looking back over these images, I can't help but think this is where my obsession with Drag Culture, and reinvention originated from.
