Cinematica is an ongoing photographic series that reveals a transformative impact of colour in documenting real places and subjects around the world. Through specific colour aesthetics, a subtle yet intriguing shift in reality prompts viewers to question the authenticity of the scenes. Colour in each element of the image is curated in the light of the principles of colour theory, harmony and balance, where both soft and bright hues are thoughtfully mixed in varying proportions through tone and tint. Emphasising the impact on composition, subject, and place, each photograph becomes an exploration of colour's influence on both visual elements and emotional resonance. Cinematica invites the audience to engage with a convergence of reality and artistry, encouraging a heightened aesthetic response to the interplay of colour and narrative, while challenging conventional perceptions.
There is a specific observational quality to these images, where each scene gains a greater importance after being edited, immortalising seemingly ordinary moments with a different perspective. A new approach to street photography explores a sense of the street as an extension of the home and the street as a theatre, playing with familiar motifs and daily-life details, and the theatrical quirkiness of human behaviour.
