David McLoughlin
The photographer’s work is concerned with vision and how we look at and observe our environment. David is interested in the act of seeing; the way we might glimpse objects in passing or stop and gaze when something is brought to our attention. He creates images where there is the pleasure of just looking for colour, pattern and texture. In a new series of work he has used Birmingham as his subject. He creates images of buildings that have become city landmarks and contrasts them with the places and spaces they may overlook or be next to. He uses the camera to compose fresh views and new perspectives of quite familiar places. Unique to his work is the way in which he focuses on the contrast between the stillness of objects and buildings and the movement of light around them. It is this movement in the photographs that transforms the familiar.
