“It is as if photography alone is too silent to speak. It is mute. And cinema is usually so busy moving that it is unable to stop and hear. Any moving picture that freezes the image poses some sort of question about the interrelationship of cinema and photography (and time).” Andrew Taylor - Writing with images: The Film-Photo-essay,
Still photographs are like vessels, and within the most memorable are countless references to our own lives and those of others, imagined or remembered. I strive to create images with a resonance, a narrative that extends beyond the frame. There is often a sense of the protagonist, sometimes directly by their presence in a suggested drama, but in others, by their absence from a scene/stage/set. Cinema plays with our relationship with the concept of time, in some ways re-enforcing its linear nature, in others, disrupting this flow and showing/ describing other potential eventualities more akin to a quantum view of the universe.
