Artist's Statement - Ian Foster

 

 

I have been taking photographs for more that 40 years, in the early days it was obviously film and a wet darkroom and I would photograph anything and everything that caught my eye including a high proportion of family shots.

 

I have been using entirely digital equipment for about 10 years now and I find it very liberating, enabling me to work and rework images as often as I wish.

 

Over the last few years my focus has changed and I am drawn to rather more serious images with some narrative potential rather than just pretty subjects and along with this has developed a great interest in monochrome images.

 

I love to photograph old, worn or broken artefacts because they speak to me of the activities that brought them to this state.

 

 

   Everything has its beauty

  Not everyone can see it.
