Alex Wilson
My work focuses on people and portraits, particularly the construction of portraits in-studio. By using now redundant forms of photography such as Polaroids and paper negatives I attempt to translate the intangible image into a physical object, capturing the ephemeral and fragile and making it solid, this also grounds my work in the history of photography and to some extent, makes my images appear to be 'outside' of time. My work is heavily influenced by the photographs of Bill Henson and early photographers such as Auguste Belloc and Edward Weston, particularly in their use of low-key lighting and the rendering of skintones.
