Your Life Is My Vanity Project- The Book

2010-05-04T17:09:06Z

DarkDaze Photography posted a photo:

Well the book is ready and the exhibition opens in 48hrs from now. This has been a long time coming, and a long time learning as well. As a lot of people found my work on flickr I thought I would post this here as well.

The book is available at £25 (+pp) and features the very best of The Vanity Project, curated by M.Halls, with an interview with Georgie at the end of the 8 Months.

To buy a copy please mail info@garage-studios.co.uk and we can send details of how to get yours.

If you'd like to see the expo itself, then it opens this Thursday, 6th May at www.garage-studios.co.uk

I hope you enjoy this.

Desperately seeking nonerroneous ways of seeing a Polaroid

2009-11-10T14:46:16Z

DarkDaze Photography posted a photo:

I have been thinking a lot about why I photograph recently- I mean the real reasons other than the burning knowledge that I absolutely have to. The obsession, the truth behind the image, the very real need to record, but also the need to deliberately construct and record and present back as reality. I am trying to understand it more, really get at what is happening, what am I trying to convince myself of, where is the truth and what is the construct- and if what I shoot is for others then who are they, why am I putting these things out there? I wont go into why right now but when I’ve got somewhere I will probably post an update- but the sleepless nights and confusion kinda leads me to this image, it does everything for me, possibly even contains the answers to all those questions but the more I stare at it the more I cant get any closer to this truth. If in fact, there is no truth in this image, then what purpose is it serving surely not just its potential to become just another ‘beautiful thing’. The only thing I know for sure, is that this Polaroid, the one on my desk, not how you see it in front of you, actually existed in, and became a part of this room, its not what I saw through the camera, and its not what you would have seen if you were stood right behind me, but its existence has taken on this weight of truth now. It’s also just about one of my most close to ‘making me give up cos I don’t need to shoot anymore’ instances ever. Of course I wont, but this image right here, would almost persuade me…..

Oh and you should really listen to some Iggy Pop whilst trying to type, it really really throws yr thought process out the fucking window.

This was shot for the new *ahem* magazine issue due out for the Christmas period.
Theres a long background to this story but I'll leave that out for now, but 8 hours of set building got pulled down just before we started shooting- it just wasnt working.

This is intended for a square crop, but I thought i'd upload the whole image.

Lot of credits due,
