00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:05.130
<v ->So this portrait here is part of a much larger series</v>

2
00:00:05.130 --> 00:00:10.130
I've been shooting off and on for a number of years now.

3
00:00:11.040 --> 00:00:16.040
So my practise, I work solely with large format photography,

4
00:00:18.540 --> 00:00:21.000
which to me I find that to be

5
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:23.760
a really important part of my process.

6
00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:27.483
So I think, personally for me,

7
00:00:29.534 --> 00:00:33.990
it's really important to try to supply a space

8
00:00:33.990 --> 00:00:36.060
for the people that I'm photographing

9
00:00:36.060 --> 00:00:41.040
where they feel completely safe and in control.

10
00:00:41.040 --> 00:00:45.784
And so it's a really slow process, like a short shoot,

11
00:00:45.784 --> 00:00:49.410
we might work like three and a half, four hours.

12
00:00:49.410 --> 00:00:50.243
<v ->Yeah. Wow.</v>

13
00:00:50.243 --> 00:00:52.440
<v ->I think with Ella we were shooting</v>

14
00:00:52.440 --> 00:00:54.540
up to like eight or nine.

15
00:00:54.540 --> 00:00:56.790
<v ->And I think you've illustrated just how diverse</v>

16
00:00:56.790 --> 00:01:00.300
photography as a medium can be and why it's so interesting,

17
00:01:00.300 --> 00:01:01.890
I think, to be able to hear you speak

18
00:01:01.890 --> 00:01:04.345
about a long meditative process, that really is

19
00:01:04.345 --> 00:01:08.400
stretching out a moment in time through to photographers

20
00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:11.460
in this exhibition who may be press photographers

21
00:01:11.460 --> 00:01:14.098
or who are very used to that one second in time

22
00:01:14.098 --> 00:01:16.738
but thousands of photographs recording them.

23
00:01:16.738 --> 00:01:21.738
<v ->And there's very valid and great ways of both processes</v>

24
00:01:22.770 --> 00:01:26.274
and that's what's great about, I guess,

25
00:01:26.274 --> 00:01:31.274
photography as a medium is it's so individual

26
00:01:31.800 --> 00:01:34.750
and you have the ability to pretty much shoot

27
00:01:35.820 --> 00:01:39.376
whatever way you feel like best achieves

28
00:01:39.376 --> 00:01:42.003
what you're trying to create.
