Two exciting things happened, I was interviewed for Creative Review magazine by Mark Sinclair for the February / March Truth and Lies Issue 1 Volume 40, looking at ‘Documenting the Now.’ I was asked about my curation on Documenting Britain Instagram and ‘Bloodied Coat’ from ‘Someone’s Rubbish’ was selected alongside other contributors to Documenting Britain, such as Math Roberts street photography and Paul Russell’s County Fair. It’s an 11-page feature with interviews and photos by Robert Law, Huck Magainze, Danielle Peck, Clementine Schneidermann also looking at the work done at the Martin Parr Foundation. The article explores the regular supply of indie mags and Instagram accounts that are keeping the medium of photographing everyday life very much alive and focuses in on platforms like Documenting Britain and the photographers who are out there passionately recording life now.
As a photographer and curator, I put my heart and energy into documentary photography, I know there is an urgency to keep everyday life alive via photography. It’s encouraging to see this subject explored in print and given recognition in Creative Review.
‘Mark Sinclair examines the art of documentary photography today, and whether it has been eclipsed by selfies, he asks has our habit of photographing everyday life diminished’.
