Frank Hallam Day

I'm increasingly finding Lens Culture (www.lensculture.com) to be an excellent means of finding interesting and inspirational photographic work. The photographers included seem to be creating imaginative, original and artistically interesting work.

Frank Hallam Day's series "Nocturnal" (https://www.lensculture.com/articles/frank-hallam-day-nocturnal) was shot in Florida and consists of night shots of various motorhomes parked up in the countryside. The photos are unposed and taken without the awareness of the inhabitants. There is staged feeling to the work which I think comes from the light which emanates from the caravans - it creates a quite a unique atmosphere. There is an element of the voyeuristic here, but also of the hunter - the motorhomes are hidden within the foliage and look almost like hiding animals.

The work raises questions about man's relationship within nature, particularly in terms of how we to choose to enjoy it, but on our terms.
