Daniel Bosworth
Graduating in 2006 with a BA (Hons) Degree in Photography, Daniel Bosworth financed his education by assisting on advertising photo shoots. He has since won commissions for national advertising campaigns and continues to work on and exhibit self-initiated projects. His work focuses on a dilution of personal, cultural and social identity and the credibility of the signs that construct it. The images both berate the un-authentic, whilst questioning the viability of an alternative. The scenes and details are carefully selected to represent recurring clichés in our culture. These signifiers of modern western society; roads, waiting rooms, swimming pools, airports, become the backdrop for scenes in which the people populating them seem awkward or misplaced. The bold, bright and contrasting colours that Daniel uses contradict the melancholy of the subject or theme. The random subjects are contradicted by the uniform size and scale of the images, and the repetitive colours offer a pattern that hints at a fragmented order of truth. In this series of work he illustrates a constantly fragmented society in which the individual is left in transit.
