ISSP 2019 Publication - Photography and the World

tion to a better world. I feel my
work is always changing and you
have to go through some experiences
step-by-step – it’s ok to
start small. You can start alone.
But if you make connections and
create a community and you can
get bigger with momentum.
I agree it’s a way of walking through life. Maybe it’s
a very romantic idea but I feel like everything we
are working on and putting out there is honest and
comes from a certain urgency. It’s important to not
question changing the world that much – but to just
do it. And by making work that is honest, it increases
the chances and potential that it might reach
someone else.
Even within your own practices,
you find little corners of resistance
– of what you say “no”
to – to ensure decisions still feel
genuine to you. You define your
own set of rules, regulations,
working practices, methodology.
Principles: each of us will have a
different set of working principles.
Yes, each of us has the freedom
to define our own principles.
Let’s all write down some
working principles for our practice.
• I will look after my own mental health
• I won’t let fear stop me – I will use it
• I will maintain an open and honest practice
– sharing and revealing how the creative
industries work
• I will continue to turn the camera inwards to
shine a light on identity and sexuality
• I will challenge inequality
• My dying grandma is important to someone
going through the same experience
• I will trust my instincts
• I won’t use the word “stress”,
I will use the word “focus”
• I will ask for equal pay
• I will share vulnerable stories – they may
give a voice to someone who is unable to
share the story themselves
• I won’t forget that my own story is important
• I will be mindful when sharing the story of others
• I will continue to use photography to reclaim
the street of my hometown
