Four Leeds based documentary photographers are exhibiting their latest bodies of work at enjoy art space from the 1st till the 8th of June.
The role of a documentary photographer in modern Western society has changed from the days of the traditional photojournalist. The impact of rapidly advancing technology means the images we see in newspapers have often been caught by ‘citizen journalists’ on camera phones or compact digital cameras, in the right place at the right time. Photographers are evolving, adapting and finding new ways to tell stories of people, their lives, and the environment they inhabit. They do what others cannot do with a camera; they spend time learning to understand, build a relationship with their subject and as a result create honest, insightful and in depth documents.
Four emerging documentary photographers based in Leeds are negotiating these unusual times through their own long term projects. Their subject matter is diverse, but is united by each individuals commitment to portraying the people and places involved in their own unique way.
The resulting exhibition, opening June 1st, tells their story so far.
