Guardian Review 2013 (2) ‘Peckham Family Album’

Guardian Camera Club 6:
Charlie.
‘The directness, clarity and honesty makes for an unaffected portrait. There’s lots of context and the square format (6 x 6 medium format film) is just right for this series.’
Sam and Tok.
‘A bit less depth of field than the photo above gives a better balance between subject and background here. The contrasting but direct expressions are compelling.’
Brothers.
‘This stunning double portrait is the best of a good set.’
Lord Gibbons, ‘Mayor of Peckham’.
‘This is quite different to the rest of the set; that delicate formality has gone and it seems genuinely warm.’
Caroline.
A quizzical expression gives this some humour, ‘Everyone is Famous In Peckham’ indeed!
Big Steve.
‘Does the choice of camera affect the way the subject relates to the photographer? Whatever, this is an excellent street portrait.’
Full set.
