The Mental Game

I’m working with the Damilola Taylor sports centre in Peckham, shooting portraits of their coaches and young people who use the centre. This is Jermaine, a personal trainer and youth worker. I’ve not had much experience shooting sporty folks before so I’m hoping to use the opportunity to explore some new ideas.

“For more than a few current practitioners, the advantages of identifying themselves as artists rather than photographers can be summed up as a six-word hustle: Print bigger, sell less for more.”

Feeling wound up, but nothing straightens me out like wandering around on a quiet winter night with my camera.

Camp 6, mobile force-feeding chair by Edmund Clark.

“Clark was under constant supervision in the camps, and was escorted everywhere he went. Though he usually shoots on film, he was required to use a digital camera so that his images could be inspected at the end of each day. He was forbidden to photograph many subjects and it was only after negotiation that he was allowed to picture this chair, used to force-feed detainees.”

If the light goes out exhibition is at Flowers East Gallery in London … if you are around the area pop in before it ends (13th November).

More images and descriptions here.

A different selection of images from Ed’s project are also up at Photofusion in Brixton until 26th November- visit them both!

Update: Ed’s doing a talk about this work at UCF on December 9th.

Met these two in the park in Hither Green. I love those roller skates- the guy said,

”well, it’s just good to do something different, isn’t it?”

“This is a big country, or what the people like to call “a big market”. You are also much more likely to be listened to, gain respect and an audience doing something that you believe in, and not something you think people want to hear. The more unfundable the project is, the better.”
