Getting by x Re-engage UK ✨

Loneliness can quietly shape the rhythm of daily life.

This short film by photographer and filmmaker Caitlin Chescoe documents the everyday life of her grandad, who has been living alone in later life following the loss of his wife. Through gentle observation, the film captures the slower moments of ageing, the routines of home and the reality many older people experience when mobility, health and circumstances change.

Across the UK, millions of older people face similar moments of isolation. At Re-engage, we work to bring connection back into later life through conversation, companionship and community — from regular phone calls to tea parties and activity groups.

Thai Masculinities ✨

I’ve been sitting on this project for nearly a year now and unfortunately it’s not been given the platform I’d hoped for. I’m interested in topic of masculinity and the many forms and contexts that shape it. At the beginning of the year I travelled to Koh Pha Ngan in Thailand and photographed a series exploring Thai masculinities through the world of Muay Thai.

Muay Thai is the national sport of Thailand. It’s a traditional form of martial arts often referred to as the “Art of Eight Limbs” and is practiced by both men and women. This series consists of the Kru’s (trainers) portraits away from the ring, in moments of rest and solitude that reveal their softer, more intimate sides. We see their slender, muscular bodies, scars, tattoos and facial hair, intwined with loved ones and performing the Wai Kru, contrasted with the tranquil tropical backdrop of the island. I explore the topic of masculinity and question how we define it in the modern day? How do we, as a Western audience, perceive these Thai men in relation to masculinity? How might our past perceptions, shaped by media portrayals and cultural narratives, influence the way we see them, before even engaging with the work?

This photo series is accompanied by a short essay which you can view here. I hope you enjoy it.
