Some(W)Here

I found Andres Gonzalez’s work whilst looking through the photobooks of past finalists from the Mack First Photobook Award. Although the series below was not from the photobook that was shortlisted, I felt that it encapsulated the mood that I am trying to express in my won work. This series, titled Some(W)Here, is quiet and still, and depicts little moments and interesting patches of light. I like the way that each image invites you to imagine a narrative within the image itself, but also between other images in the series. There are very still images that allow for pauses (such as the final image), and image that are calm but have a slight sense of weight (for example, the image with the figure sitting in the window.) I would like to evoke a similar rhythm in my own series by carefully considering layout and flow during the sequencing of my work.
