Nigel Shafran’s photographs are quiet observations of daily life, often focusing on deliberately low-key subject matter.
Shafran came to prominence in the 1990s for his new approach to Fashion Photography. Since then, he has shifted his attention towards a more intimate relationship between the photographer and the photographed. In his new series
Compost Pictures 2008-9, the subject is a closely framed corner of a kitchen; prominent within each photograph is a small purple bowl, containing organic waste ready for the compost pile. These seemingly simple photographs are understated and gentle in what they convey; it’s possible just to dwell on the domestic detail in each, and also to read with ease a more abstract sense of the movement of time, of light tracing over objects, of time slowed down to a stillness. A sequence of recorded repetitions, these photographs quietly document an enjoyment of the ordinary phenomena of the everyday. Produced to accompany an exhibition at Charleston in Spring 2010.
