Here are some of my first pictures from 2010. Four pictures here from the hundreds (thousands even) I could have made. Why make these pictures and not something else? Where do they fit, what's the point and does it even matter?
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.
