The Youth Club project focuses on the users of

youth support services who, in the transitory

stage between childhood and adulthood, are

in a period in their life where they are often

overlooked or demonised by wider society.

Here by association, Beck also brings to light

the importance of these services (although set

up by local authorities, largely run by charities)

within our communities; the fact that their work

largely goes unnoticed does no justice to their

importance in guiding young people towards a

successful start in adult life.

Project 01482 takes its name from the area

dialling code for the city of Hull, a city for

which the telephone became not just a tool of

communication but a symbol of independence.

Depicting the steady decline of the public

telephone kiosk and presenting it as an echo

of a death of a wider cultural heritage. Sawdon

acknowledges the technical developments

of the 21st Century but through exploring

the remaining kiosks, recalls childhood

memories of a time before mobile phones,

emphasising the role of the past on shaping all

of us and, the importance of one town’s history

of independence.

Embarking upon long-term projects, Hannah

Reynolds’ practice centres on documenting facets

of society and their inherent issues. In her latest

body of work, Reynolds investigates the small

East Anglian town of Newmarket, internationally

renowned as the epicentre of Horse Racing.

With one in every three of the fteen thousand

residents employed on some level of the industry,

from stable owners and skilled professionals

to semi-itinerant farm hands, Horse Racing is

intertwined with every single element of the

community. The series seeks to explore the nature

and ramications of this relationship and how it

has shaped Newmarket; past, present and future.

Specialising in underwater fashion photography,

Catherine Laura’s series showcases her often-

whimsical style, as well as her ability to create

themes and narratives. These threads which run

through each of her ‘fashion stories’, allow her to

anchor each set with a cohesive visual approach,

while at the same time, from shoot to shoot,

endless scope to produce diverse and creative

images. Her rm understanding of working

underwater has allowed Laura to push her

creative boundaries, undeterred by challenging

environments and has led to her coordination of

her own team, from creative and stylists to safety-

divers, thus facilitating this collection.

James Hawley’s stripped back approach to

fashion photography is designed to allow

the model’s personality to become a part of

the image. Deemed as of equal importance

to the clothes and the photographer,

Hawley spends much of his time searching

for models with whom he can collaboratively

produce fashion editorials. Naturalistic

and minimal in terms of post-production

and articial lighting, this collection

of images comes loaded with a subtle

yet pervasive sense of beauty; formed

from the triptych of clothing, location

and model-photographer relationship.

Emily Nicolle Bailey is a fashion and beauty

photographer whose inspiration often stems

from the themes of self-expression and

individuality, Bailey has spent the best part of

a year undertaking collaborative projects with

various makeup artists and models. Exploring

how self-decoration, specically in the form

of make-up artistry and fashion choices, aid

in the construction of an individual’s persona,

in that they allow the individual to appear

to the world in the way that they choose;

the images included here are representative

of the photographer’s wider practice, both

thematically and visually.

Alice Hall’s work takes its form and inspiration

from the beauty and fragility of owers, her

subtle and often abstract, images focus on

the simplicity and delicacy of the shapes and

colours of the petals. Photographing primarily

on analogue formats, Hall’s experimentation

with a range of methods for image making

and printing, seeks to craft a technique that

accentuates both her subject and the imagined

tangibility of the medium. Her organic and

alluring photographs resonate with a strong

emotional involvement and attempt to depict

the true and unique beauty of natural forms,

while inspiring her own wonder in the viewer.

Aisha Greenidge-Noorgat’s Playhouse acts

as a photographic exploration of a space in

which she experienced trauma as a child. The

family sitting room becomes a place shrouded

in darkness, the images’ aesthetic reects this

turmoil and with their soft focus, references the

process of memory. The fabric of the space has

become forever intertwined with a painful past;

though, this cathartic work, sets the door ajar,

airing the room, absorbing a part of Greenidge-

Noorgat’s anguish. Also included are images

from the Meat & Flowers series, an attempt to

capture the essence of what appears repulsive

and beautiful, in immediate juxtaposition.

Stuart Leckenby

e Invisible Age

Typically socially undervalued, politically

underrepresented and largely ignored by

the opposite sex, The Invisible Age seeks to

highlight and question the societal place of

women in their sixth decade. Stuart Leckenby’s

portrait series focuses on these older women,

presenting them in stark relief, hair un-styled,

and faces un-made; without the plethora of

products thrust on them by social pressure

and advertising. The stillness and passivity

of the photographs act as a testament to

preconceived ideas, although silent witnesses,

these portraits seem to shout what this invisible

demographic wants to say: “We exist!”.

Charys Elmer

Charys Ellmer has taken a set of Thematic

Apperception Test cards as the starting point

for her series of narrative photography. TAT

cards are designed for use in psychological

examinations, depicting various provocative yet

ambiguous images, which the subject is asked to

interpret, allowing the attendant psychologist a

window into their patient’s personal history and

attitudes. Narrative photography runs corollary

to this process, asking viewers to consider and

‘read’ a scene as a story. No interpretation is

wrong, merely a version of the truth presented

through a medium that can be said to blend

veracity and illusion in equal measure.

Mindy Goose

Well-Being

Mindy Goose is a photographer as well as a

community workshop leader, whose use of

photography extends to self-discovery, social

inclusion and education. The Well-being

project examines her daily life, capturing the

seemingly mundane objects, landscapes,

journeys and routines in a manner that seeks

to present them as beautiful, unusual and

unique. Her intent here, is to let her images

act as a lens through which the viewer has the

opportunity to see the everyday world in a

more enriching way and in so doing, to inspire

her audience to take notice of the beauty in the

familiar themselves.

The Behind The Spectacle series seeks to

explore the people and personalities behind

performers and the act of performance.

Famed for the ‘Big Top’, sideshows,

menageries of animals and death-defying

feats of athleticism, the circus has always

been one of the ultimate spectacles. In this

on-going, long-term project, Salt takes in

not only the more familiar extroversion of

the ‘show’ but peers behind the curtain,

documenting the off stage individuals and

their relationships in both transient and

domestic environments.

Sofa Coombs

Living with Kerstin

Coombs uses image making to gain a greater

understanding of the unfamiliar and the

observed behaviour of others; in this series, she

documents her intimate yet strained relationship

to her mother, with whom she is naturally

close, despite past issues causing an extended

estrangement. The project is an observation of

her mother’s life in an attempt to comprehend

why she is the way she is. A serious and complex

subject, approached with an innate sensitivity

and the well considered, thoughtfulness of a

person studying a loved one.

Rory Doyle

The focus of Rory Doyle's body of work lies

in gender, specically in the examining and

understanding of gender’s boundaries. In order

to do this, Doyle'sphotographs those who take

gender related concepts to what are socially

considered to be more extreme conclusions,

capturing images of Transvestism in drag acts

and cross dressers. The images, which often

take their aesthetic from traditional fashion

and beauty photography, seek to question

how notions of femininity and masculinity are

visually dened within our society.

Jack Turner

A year after Jack Turner was born his

Grandfather moved from his home in London

to Northern Scotland, therein causing an

estrangement that has lasted all of his

conscious life. As an adult, Turner set out to

meet and get to know this man, a close family

member with whom he had previously almost

no relationship. This series documents his

visits to Scotland, from their very rst meeting

and examines with an acute sensitivity, the

unusual dynamic of this new relationship; at

once a close familial bond but with a distance,

induced by a long absence.

Tim Mellin

Tim Mellin has created a body of work

designed to appeal to both the creative

and commercially minded. Working hand-

in-hand with clients on live briefs in order

to develop this series of images that not

only meet standard industry requirements

but have challenged both his technical and

creative abilities; honing his own distinctive

style. Innovation is a highly valued aspect

of Mellin’s photographic practice as; each

undertaking has its own unique parameters

and therefore, demands a unique approach.

In this series of still life images, Chris Jackson

explores the genre of creative product

photography. The theme of motion runs

throughout this set, in which the photographer

reveals one of the medium’s most formidable

abilities; to capture that which the human eye

could never see. While technically polished,

clean and crisp, commercially minded

photographs, Jackson looks beyond mere

depiction and nds a visual language that

gives a life to his subjects, while at the same

time reinforcing the power of photography.

This series unveils a side to the Catholic Church

that often goes unnoticed and is unmentioned

in popular discourse; the positive communities

that can be created when the Church opens itself

to less dogmatic doctrine. When Hargreaves’

sexuality came into conict with his family’s

preconceived ideas of faith, a schism was created,

ultimately causing him, as it does for many others,

to reject his religion altogether. Last year he

attended Mass at All Hallows Church in Leeds, an

openly inclusive Church that celebrates diversity.

The subsequent photographs document and

explore his reunion with faith, and the accepting

community that facilitated it.

Straddling the genres of ne art and

documentary practice, Kyla Lynskey focuses

on interior and domestic spaces. In her

latest body of work she has spent six months

photographing her and her father’s home,

a house to be sold after twenty-two years.

Like any childhood or family home, the

building itself transcends a mere structure;

it comes replete with, in this case, a lifetime

of memories. The images produced, likewise

transcend mere documentation but come

with a clearly tangible, emotional content, a

catharsis for Lynskey herself, concluding the

process of moving on.

Benjamin P. Smith is a photographer whose focus

lies in documenting movements and groups

that overtly or implicitly question socio-political

paradigms. Presented here are excerpts from

two bodies of work, Signed: The Occupiers and

The Camel And The Scorpion. The former, an

advocacy based series, deals with communities

of squatters in the UK as the government moves

to criminalise trespass; an action that will erode

avenues of accommodation for the poorest,

protest and culture. The latter takes its title from a

Middle Eastern joke and attempts to investigate

the situation in Palestine’s West Bank, beyond the

standard, politically convenient interpretations.
