Michael Jackson, Bad © Stephen GillStephen Gill es uno de mis fotógrafos favoritos porque se mueve como nadie entre la fotografía documental y la conceptual.
En "Audio Portraits", Stephen retrata a desconocidos mientras escuchan música en su Walkman. La canción que suena en ese momento da título a la imágen resultante.
"Hackney Flowers" o "Buried" se desarrollan en el área londinense de Hackney y tienen una cariz más poético. En esta última serie, fotografías tomadas en el rastro del barrio, son enterradas y recuperadas al cabo de un tiempo. La descomposición del papel genera así imágenes únicas.
Otra de las facetas de Stephen Gill es la de editor de libros. A través de Nobody Books se autopublica la mayor parte de sus trabajos, consiguiendo así un alto grado de independencia en todas las fases de su proceso creativo.
Stephen Gill is one of my favourite photographers because he lays between documentary and conceptual photography like nobody else does.
In his "Audio portraits", Stephen depicts strangers while listening to music in their personal stereos. The songs they´re listening give name to the images resulting.
"Hackney Flowers" and "Buried" were developed in Hackney, the London area where he lives, and their poetical component is stronger. In this last series, pictures taken at Hackney´s sunday market were buried there and then recovered after some time. Paper rotting generates like this beautiful and unique images.
Another side of Stephen´s activity is being a book publisher. Through Nobody Books he self-disclose most of his work achieving a high level of independence during all his steps as a photographer.
