BRIGHTON PHOTOGRAPHY You won’t find the best views of Brighton and the Downs at the top of the i360. You’ll find them at the gallery next door. Prints | Books | Cards brightonphotography.com | 52-53 Kings Road Arches | 01273 227 523 BrightonPhotography-VIVA2018-1.indd 1 18/06/2018 11:38
PHOTOGRAPHY .................................... James Winspear Makers’ spaces This series began when I photographed the artists at Limehouse Arts and Carpenter Road Studios for my degree show at London College of Printing. I started by making portraits of them in their studios, but then I’d take the person out and just photograph the interior, trying to get a sense of the person in their space without them being there. I’ve always found that fascinating. Painters’ floors can be very interesting. Pretty knackered, with splashes of paint and marks; almost like a still life within themselves. Like Sophie Abbott’s studio at Phoenix Brighton. Her space had a crazy floor. Colourful like her paintings. At first, I shot it on black and white film but then thought, ‘why would I do that when there are all those shades of blue?’ It would be interesting to make a whole series of photos of artists’ floors. You can have four painters working in a studio, but their individual spaces will be quite different. They’ll all have little personal things on the wall: a snapshot, stuff they’ve clipped out of magazines for inspiration and various objects they’ve brought in to personalise the space. I like to capture these little biographical details. I find my subjects by word of mouth and by visiting open studios. I’m usually attracted to the artwork but sometimes equally by the space itself. Most of this series has been shot at Phoenix Brighton and at Cockpit Arts in Deptford and Holborn, but I’ve also been visiting people at their home studios. I enjoy photographing the making process, and I’m interested in how other people work and the objects and tools that they use. So much work goes into the pieces they produce. That was especially true at my most recent shoot with Annemarie O’Sullivan, a basketmaker in Isfield. And Harry Owen, who is a leatherworker making amazing bags for men. The amount of work that goes into them is extraordinary: just working a little piece of leather, burnishing it, painting the edge and then repeating the process. Each tiny piece takes so much time. I left college with a portfolio of black and white street photography naïvely thinking I would be the next member of Magnum. I was a bit green. I had a little Roliflex camera, a reflector and a tripod, and started shooting some interiors and editorial portraits for magazines like the Guardian Weekend, Blueprint, Elle and Elle Decoration. I use a bit more kit now and have been photographing food and chefs for Deliveroo for the last year, but it’s been nice to keep up the artists and makers as a personal project. I’d love to photograph someone making their product from start to finish. That would be a great commission. I’d like to find a glassmaker, a shoemaker… all those lovely wooden lasts. Any Sussex crafts people working in interesting spaces, drop me a line. As told to Lizzie Lower jameswinspearphotography.co.uk instagram.com/jameswinspearphoto ....31....
