Artist Blog

Every week an artist whose single image was published by Der Greif is given a platform in which to blog about contemporary photography.

My room is in the attic of a house, situated in the middle of an enclave of houses in Hackney, London. I captured moments unbeknown to my neighbours through my window over a number of months. Playing with the notion of time and change, and juxtaposing images of the sky and the human setting; I’m aiming to emphasise the extra-ordinary impression I have of the seemingly ordinary and the repetitive nature of life, both theirs and mine. I still capture some of these subjects occasionally; the kids have grown, some people have moved and been replaced. I consciously selected images where neighbours are less recognisable to protect their identities in these private moments.
