Being Connected: LIP London and Beyond

I enjoy exploring the medium of photography, both in the capture and later editing. I would describe myself as being primarily interested in the aesthetic element but aiming to be Expressive in externalising my response and connection to a given landscape and experience.

Robin Maurice Barr is a self taught photographer based in Cragg Vale, West Yorkshire. He has a passion for taking abstract photographs of people, architecture and aspects of the urban environment. He has exhibited in
galleries and exhibitions in Hebden Bridge, Halifax, Bradford, Leeds, Manchester, Glasgow, London, Brighton, and elsewhere.

The photographs on show by Robin in this exhibition are all in-camera double exposure images.

For me photography is an art form. I like to move my camera, using it like a paintbrush, or change the image created in the camera to produce sculpture - like effects, or to combine images, to give greater artistic scope.

Other photographer's images allow me to see how they see the world, something not possible otherwise.
Photography is like a sixth sense, linking me to the world and other people

My photography, created near my home in Surrey, reflects my fascination with terrain vague – the unnamed, overlooked, unproductive edgelands, non-places between the proper places of everyday life. This forms a common theme, that links a series of projects on various aspects of these spaces

Alan Larsen is a documentary photographer interested in the representation of place, and how the built environment embodies and reflects the human environment. In his practice, Alan explores the hidden landscapes that lie beneath the surface, revealing the relationship of place to time, memory, identity, and the histories carried within it.

Alan is a Londoner, living and working in southeast London.

My photography is quite diverse and includes work based on the geographical and historical significance of landscape, more abstract work often using toy cameras, and conceptual pieces incorporating collage and the work ‘Cut Up’ included in this exhibition.

Photographer and print maker, using film, found source materials and alternative processes and techniques to explore the natural world.
