The Photographer

I found a set of photographs in a charity shop documenting an Award Ceremony. What captured my attention was the recurring presence of the photographer within each frame—a figure usually unwanted in the final image. I reconstructed the sequence to obscure the ceremony and foreground this overlooked character, using analogue techniques that echo the aesthetics of digital manipulation. In a technological moment where algorithms are designed to erase distractions and perfect the desired scene, this work resists that impulse. Instead, it embraces the accidental, the peripheral, and the human presence behind the lens, questioning who is meant to be seen—and who is made invisible.
