traces (swinging)

A ongoing project investigating the space that’s been left by the change in attitude to photographing children in public and looking at what’s been left behind.

Often involving found objects abandoned by the families these will stand in stead of what used to be one of the most photographed subjects by amateur and professional photographers alike.

An internalised taboo has come into force that stops photographers from feeling comfortable photographing children in the public sphere, even their own.

An image of predatory behaviour that is leaving a huge gap in the photographic record of social history.

Blue Redcar Morning

After a lot of thought I finally decided to submit some of my photographic work to the Palace Hub Gallery in Redcar to see if I could get some exhibited.

The series was photographs of Redcar beach on a wintery dawn, which gave a really lovely blue cast to the sky.

I had three accepted for the group exhibition 🙂

This really meant I had to get more work done on my website in preparation for these being shown, and to keep moving forward with my practice (which I didn’t of course)

Annoyingly though I had forgotten that there was also an alternative process exhibition which I could have submitted Cyanotype images into.

(this show was in 2015)
