This series of images has been taken from a much far wider body of work that sits firmly within the field of 'the familial gaze'.

​

These photographs are fleeting, and they are snatched. These moments from a much more condensed picture of family life depict a condition. This condition is personal and is consistently changing, but is by no means exclusive within the context of a modern age that we are all apart of.

 

The images attempt to address issues of distance, time and space, just as much as they try to represent a state of being, of fatherhood, and also, how photography does not always tell the truth. Photography is most definitely a conduit that can perpetuate myths of  how lives are being lived, but not necessarily, how life actually is.

​

This is a piece of work that has quite literally made itself. And it attempts to show a reality, and not a modern digital utopia of life as we think we 'facebook' know it.
