Here are three of the many portraits I made in Pingyao, a city so different from Shanghai and the people too I suspect. I wonder about their stories......
Hey Harvey, these are great, interesting the ear ring in the bottom picture, incongruous. Nice flat light, due to smog? I seem to be falling for all the stereotypes. Regards Scott
My pictures explore the strange anthropology of cities. The unusual and overlooked in the human landscape.
I am asking the viewer to question the idea that photographs as documents are complete representations of subject.
I'm interested in the universality of life and the idea of parallel lives - when one thing is happening here, something else is happening over there. The democracy of non-places fascinates me, in the knowledge that inevitably nothing is as it seems.
I work and live between Auckland and Paris.
