How the light gets in
How the light gets in is an intimate portrait of a young man suffering from cyclothymic bipolar disorder who, through strict Buddhist practice endeavors to reach a state of 'ordinariness' during four months retreat in the Olchon Valley. The series sets out to embody the residue of a condition as powerful as it is haunting. I work mainly within photojournalism, editorial and documentary photography with a specific interest in agricultural, rural and countryside issues. Taking a storytellers approach; I want to be unobtrusive and provide viewers with a secret, almost ethereal, element to the situation, however mundane. I want to produce work which will be at home in either gallery space or printed media and have completed work for both.
