Abstract-Objective is a series of photographs of household objects that can also be read, in varying degrees, as abstract compositions. They were created entirely in-camera, without staging, cropping or retouching. Most make use of movement but some are a hundred per cent documentary. All are presented as taken, in colour, on a hand-held, entry-level, digital camera with a standard 18-55mm lens.

The photographs were all shot over the course of 15 months in 2015 and 2016. All lighting was ‘found’ in-situ, generated by street lamps, domestic lights, electrical appliances and natural daylight. No additional lighting was used.

The pictures are generally reproduced as high-quality, framed, digital pigment prints on a heavy, uncoated art paper, at sizes up to one metre in length. This gives them a strong physical presence, that plays an important part in the way they’re seen as finished objects.
