ARTPHOTO Jenny Persson

An internal monologue that goes on and on.

Questions and decicions to make. Never knowing if you get it right.

Finding balance is a constant struggle.

Photography mixed with oil, ink and/or watercolour

This body of work is strongly connected to a sense of place and a persons connection with it, the things and places I choose to photograph are often overlooked and not seen worthy of care and attention, but that is exactly what I want to give them. I'm not interested in sunsets and monuments, but in the small things that in themselves can be very grand indeed.  

A photo is always subjective and the photographer has made a number of choices.
Yet we tend to look at photos and think: that's Harestad church, forgetting that it's only a representation "Ceci n'est pas une pipe".

The  traces of the hand acts as reminder that a photograph is indeed depentant on a reality, but there is a person behind the camera setting the agenda, calling the shots.

Portraits captured in one slow-speed-shot animating the face, showing the person from different angles simultaneously

Study for a planned project.

The idea is to interview and photograph people from a multitude of ages and interests.

In a world where everything seems polarised and the ones who shout loudest are the ones we hear, I want to capture the greyscale and subtleties of the human condition

Colour photography C-41, folded

A lusterous rapture in structure and surface, the magic of a flat image becoming sculptural. Most of the photos in this series are shot in London Belgravia, the grand buildings can sometimes be hinted in puddles of water or in the reflection of a car.
