I am drawn to what often goes unspoken. The tension before something unfolds. The grit behind achievement. The quiet in between. I look for connection. I want the viewer to feel what it was like to be there. Not just to observe, but to be in it.
What sets my work apart is a lived understanding of the cultures I document. I do not approach them as a visitor. I belong to them. That trust and closeness shape everything I create.
‘My guest this week is visionary film-maker and photographer Chris McClean, recorded at the London Surf Film Festival in October 2019, where Chris won the Viewer’s Choice Award for his latest feature Translate. The film also had its premiere at the event, a performance that saw the soundtrack performed live by a band featuring composer CJ Mirra and Lee-Ann Curren.’
