The images are from an ongoing series called British Paranoia. In the UK, we were heading for Brexit from the European Union. It turns out the promises of the leave campaign were a load of pony and trap. Meanwhile our career politicians turned out to be incompetent.
How do you represent tumultuous times in photographs?I do not think you can. This British Paranoia series is a collection of small non-sequitur images of life in Britain at this time. All we can hope to do is subjectively pick out a few details — as though it were a dot-to-dot puzzle. With no numbers to guide you.
Why the Fujica Drive?The Fujica Drive is non-reflex, non-rangefinder — so to just guess the exposure, focus distance and framing and snap away is very liberating. The clockwork camera motor advances the film so you do not have to lower it from your face. It is a perfect sketchbook camera.
