  • Photographer
    Streetmax 21, United Kingdom
  • Prize
    Honorable Mention

I make images, in real time, of uneventful scenes devoid of the overused motifs and impromptu techniques practiced in conventional street photography. Conceptually, these are simple recordings of people walking with undisclosed purpose, separated in plastic space in seemingly choreographed but otherwise uninteresting tableaux. Unspeaking characters are connected by no means other than where they were when the shot was taken. Images made with this technique may appear fictitious and constructed, but they're not. I wait, often for long periods, for the right organic distribution of people.
