Formed in 2015, THIRTEEN are professional and accomplished amateur photographers with many solo and group exhibitions in the UK and abroad and awards to their credit. This is their 8th appearance in Lauderdale House.
As usual, there is no common theme but variety of subject matters and genres that reflect each contributor’s idiosyncratic approach and preference in their artistic expressions; through four photographs, one idea is developed either in colour or B&W : a documentary about a disappearing world; urban/street life is a reoccurring theme with its social and political comments, even seen as abstracts; captured street life is charged with the photographer’s emotional evolvement – people as a mass or individuals, from mild brutality to humour of our everyday life; dramatic landscapes that can slip into abstracts, and placid seascapes; a realm of fantasy is depicted with the camera not with a paint brush; un/conventional approach to portraits ranges from documentary, staged to using the process of Chlorophyll printing which requires up to 72 hours exposure in the bright sun!
All photographers have embraced digital photography. However, there is one photographer who still chooses to work with film and print in the darkroom.
In common, each photographer applies their vision of the world and invites the viewer’s involvement.
