Stammplatz
This project explores my local areas of Walthamstow, Hackney, Clapton and Stoke Newington, photographed throughout the winter and spring of 2012 and 2013. I wanted to alter the shades of meaning and relevance of those in-between spaces photographed in the still, desolate hours following dusk. the night sky produces an unexpected array of tone and colour in a landscape subtly removed from its normal appearance. I have photographed fellow residents, family and friends in their own outdoor personal spaces.
A word in German meaning 'regular place' or 'native space', epitomises my fascination with 'home'. It is 'Stammplatz'.
