We all use our Instagram feeds in different ways. For me it’s simply a daily diary. Sometimes it’s a continuous photo essay if I’m full on into a story and other times it’s just whatever is happening around me in my daily life. Rarely a day goes by when I’m not shooting. So if this feed jumps from retro documentary Maya pictures to this continued experiment with my fiction series on games people play it’s because I’m at home working on my archive and then take a bit of time out to make a new picture. Working in the past and present simultaneous works for me psychologically. I’ve always referenced. So past, present, future is one large tableau in my head. Documentary photography explains clearly and fiction work leaves you hanging wondering suspecting curious and perhaps uncomfortable. So this picture does link with others in the series yet viewers won’t see it all together until it’s a book. I make one piece at a time yet move the pieces around like a painter changes a painting or a writer scribbles then tweaks then edits then throws it all out and starts again. It’s the creative process. Not to be analyzed in a linear way. It’s this process of thinking about pictures and how they can be used in a visually literate way that I try to get those I mentor in workshops etc to think about for their own work. We all have our own way. The visceral and primal nature of photography knows no bounds. Elevator going up or down? #beachgames #fujifilm #475kent
