Photographers

The first assignment challenged photographers to make art in a homebound setting and capture a moment in history (in time). The photographers were Aaron Chapman, Cooper Brady, Katrina Ford, Warwick Gow, Joshua Woollett and Tim Birch. They each spent one week creating a visual diary of their existence within their four walls, capturing home, everyday moments and mementos from life in the moment.

Look back on their journey below.

    Local photographer Cooper Brady first taught himself to use 35mm cameras after attending a friends' gallery exhibition of amateur 35mm photographs, and fell in love with simple juxtaposition and why certain compositions make you feel something unexplainable, some connection despite not being there or despite the subject being mundane.

    Katrina Lee Ford’s work exists in a unique place that lies between illusion and reality, a place where the ordinary things that we believe to know are transformed into extraordinary visual metaphors with new rich and emotional meanings.
