Feeling particularly restless today so task of the day to go see the 'Fresh Faces' exhibition at the Photographer's Gallery. I've already been researching it online and some of the work looks really interesting:
MARIA KAPAJEVA:
Again, there is something very personal about this image, there's that pure honesty and drowsiness just as one wakes up. Kapajeva photographed people close to her just as they were waking up in this series of work, this was my favourite. I also keep musing at the textures in this image particularly on the blanket and her top in the foreground.
There is something so genuine and sensitive about this image, the gentle release of a dying patient. I Campbell was shooting her dying father and trying to be a good daughter and trying not to be overwhelmed by her own grief. I found after reading the background of her work, the image became so personal I felt intrusive looking at it for too long.SIMON KOCH:

I love this because she looks like a dead bird, there's that same pathetic gentleness.
