Two photographic images by Emma Van Dordrecht are on show from Saturday 24th of October at Brave New World. The images were taken during a break from her regular commissioned work during an around the world holiday.
Determined to travel light, without the distraction of choice of lenses, choice of film or even choice of exposure, Emma opted for light point and shoot type cameras to get back to the art of seeing. The resultant images were shot on a plastic Holga camera; this type of camera allowed Emma to step back from the highly technical demands of commercial photography and embrace the low-fi attributes a Holga presents.
Setting out each day on a 6 week journey, she rediscovered the joy of capturing things the eye and heart responded to quickly, without thought. Not being one for exacting perfection or great at verbalising her images, Emma finds she can't be rational about what she sees and likes to snap… her hope is that some else will see them in same way and also enjoy her irreverent view.
Emma reiterates that the wing shot was amusing. “ I was aware I was really just shooting someone else's brilliance (as so much of photography can be) but liked it enough to want to remember and take it home with me.”
