The End of the Day, 1938, Henry Albert Payne
A reflection on how fast the world moves today because of technology. And as a result, how younger generations have walked away from the simplest and most basic things in life.
"Times change, we orchestrate ourselves to different locations and yet with nostalgia nothing need be lost. It can be found again. We can consider the death of an idea as being flexible to finality, but that is a different conversation". We tend to enshrine people and ideas with a certain
A photographer from the town of Northampton with an underlying fine art based style, which focuses on documentary/editorial and portraiture. The work is rooted through architectural photography styles, becoming precise within composition and natural light. His work consists of digital and analogue processes. His way of working has a consistent natural feel that is reflected through his subjects. “I am a British Portrait/Documentary Photographer and my practice depicts an interest in Nostalgia, Disconnection and Narrative by exploring peculiar new towns and urban areas, finding narrative within the spaces and how these locations embody the ideas and beliefs of the individuals that reside them. Nostalgia is a key aspect of my work. It has been stated that my generation – the ‘millennials’ have an increasing interest in the past and in some senses, nostalgia distorts and falsifies our perceptions of both the present and future. We are essentially attaching ourselves to a time we may have not even experienced ourselves. I also use the Landscape for intertwining narratives is it can give me a more broad subject matter. In my “Whispering Blooms” series I found an interest in flowers. This is something wouldn’t have expected to be a part of the series initially but is now the driving narrative of the project. I also bring these ideas over to my portrait work. Often working on location, I like the surrounding space to tell as much as a story as the individual does. Creating distorted yet familiar banal environments that become natural for the subjects.”

Canadian artist Mathieu Laca crafts oil paintings that use texture and abstractions that toy with the conventions of portraiture. Whether it’s famous subjects or the vague everyman or everywoman, the artist packs both meticulous, odd flair and personality into each of the paintings. He's given this treatment to anyone from Henry David Thoreau and Albert Einstein to historical arts figures like Vincent Van Gogh.

Everything about a person can be read upon the sight of his face -- the squint of eyes, turn of lips or raise of brows immediately paint one's feelings like an open book; but these elements are shrouded in English photographer Toby Harvard's portraiture.
