Portrait of Lauren

• Jury Top 5 Selection

  David Clarke A great image which could have been taken any time in the last 100 years. Perhaps surprised to be asked to pose, perhaps she’s not too happy? Whichever way, the photographer expertly portrays Lauren, particularly her dark deep eyes which seem to be focussed far far away. For me…a great classic image.

• Biography
  Tim Pearse works with experimental, alternative, and destructive photographic techniques to explore introspective observations and expression. Through figurative motif and abstraction, Tim dismantles and dissolves traditional photographic aesthetics, and manipulates material properties to draw out imagery from within himself. Portraiture also features heavily in Tim’s practice, where quiet moments in the studio blend with chemical experimentation in the darkroom to produce truly unique, handmade photographs.
