#ginnelfotofest

No Place. Photography by MKL. Hello, you have seen this image on my personal account @eyende . Over the next week or so I will be showing the photographs I exhibited during Ginnel Foto Fest 2022. As founder of the Ginnel Foto Community it is the first time in the seven year history of the festival that we decided to show a body of work produced by me over the past six month and still in progress. I started off by deciding to pack my camera when going to work. Usually I walk the same route to get to college but the way home became a detour to get through different neighbourhoods, all in and around the town centre. The mundane of Everyday caught my eye. During the Fest a person approached me and told me they lived in this property when they were in their early teens. Unexpected I got a life story that I couldn’t have imagined. There are of course different layers to my work. But when the unexpected happens the photograph becomes more than just a visual representation. It reminded me on a phrase by George Szirtes from his book The Photographer At Sixteen, “Photographs are skin. Sometimes the skin is healthy and fresh, at other times it is hardly there. Old skin is cracked and creased: what it hides it also reveals…” #photography #ginnelfotofest #exhibition #storybehind #documentaryphotography #mundane #everyday #talkingaboutphotography (at Ipswich, Suffolk) https://www.instagram.com/p/Chkt12soa1o/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#ginnelfotofest Big THANK YOU to all that made their way to the Ginnel this year. Perfect weather and what a fantastic bunch of people that we met on this occasion. And then we had Ray spoiling us with his sound and light set up….. More to follow but now it is cleaning up time. Ginnel 23 is only a year away.
