I’m happy to announce that the images from my De-Stress photography project are featured on the cover of Issue Eight of Murze Magazine! Murze examines artwork with a specific focus on the exploration of current social, political and environmental issues. They look at new ideas and concepts that challenge and engage with the world around.
Issue Eight is a journey through Portraiture, Reality and Change, exploring and focusing on people, the wider world and change in all its forms. Featuring interviews from Craig Hubbard, Luna Y Lebron, Tom Herck, Sarah Nance, Stephanie Mei Huang, Christine Beatty, Mana Mehrabian and me!
De-Stress is a photography project in which I took portraits of members of the community of The Trampery, a social enterprise specialising in shared workspace and support for entrepreneurs and creative businesses, and explored how working in a creative environment surrounded by a supportive group contributes to the success rate of entrepreneurs and their well-being. I shot the portraits on film and distressed them using household chemicals. The project title is a play on words, "distress" being the technique used to create the images about the "de-stressing" offered in the supportive environment created in the co-working space.
