Foreword
Your Dad on a Skateboard
Tijs Groot Wassinkwassinklundgren.com
Around the age o ourteen I had a short ing with skateboarding. I had just become riends with an
eighteen year old skateboarder who seemed to master al l the tricks, and I tried to imitate his moves
endlessly. I did manage the ollie and kick-ip at some point (or those with no knowledge about
skateboarding: they're dierent ways o jumping up in the air), but I never really mastered the hal-
pipe. I was just terried o throwing mysel down this U-shaped structure and never really got thebalance right. It was always on my way home, or while lying awake at night, that I was convinced
that the next time I would be able to do the trick right. However, every time I returned to the hal-
pipe I just could not do it.
What puzzled me was that it all looked so easy or my eighteen year old riend, so why couldn't I get
it to work? I pondered this until one day my ather ound my skateboard in the back garden, and in
an attempt at being unny, decided to show the amily how to ride a skateboard. We all know what
a dad on a skateboard looks like: not good. It looks uncomortable and like hard work, really hard
work. At that moment I realised why I hadn't been able to do something that looked so easy; why I
hadnt been able do these tricks that my riend pulled o with so much ease. It is because everyone
who's really good at something, consciously or subconsciously, makes it look like it's the easiest thing
in the world. Whilst someone like my ather, who really didn't know what to do with a skateboard,
made me see how difcult it actually is.
Flipping through this catalogue reminded me o my eighteen year old riend. Because i there is one
thing that all photographers in this book have mastered over the last three years, it is this: to make
something terribly difcult (i.e. to put the world around you, including all those thoughts about
this world, into a cohesive series o images) look like a piece o cake. While looking at all these
images I no longer think o the troubles the photographers went through: the permissions theyhad to obtain, the cameras that ailed them or the personal indecisiveness that troubled some or
months. What I look at are many exciting stories and even more ideas that this new generation o
photographers wants to show me. Some stories are close and personal, others are on big subjects or
matters o beauty.
Luckily, even with all these stories told, there are still many more let untold. And i you
the photographersever eel stuck while telling another story, just imagine your dad on a skateboard.
It will make you realise youre pretty well on your way to be the next big thing!

The Youth Club project ocuses on the users o
youth support services who, in the transitory
stage between childhood and adulthood, are
in a period in their lie where they are oten
overlooked or demonised by wider society.
Here by association, Beckalso brings to light
the importance o these services (although set
up by local authorities, largely run by charities)
within our communities; the act that their work
largely goes unnoticed does no justice to their
importance in guiding young people towards a
successul start in adult lie.

James Hawleys stripped back approach to
ashion photography is designed to allow
the models personality to become a part o
the image. Deemed as o equal importance
to the clothes and the photographer,
Hawleyspends much o his time searching
or models with whom he can collaboratively
produce ashion editorials. Naturalistic
and minimal in terms o post-production
and articial lighting, this collection
o images comes loaded with a subtle
yet pervasive sense o beauty; ormed
rom the triptych o clothing, location
and model-photographer relationship.

subtle and oten abstract, images ocus on
the simplicity and delicacy o the shapes and
colours o the petals. Photographing primarily
on analogue ormats, Halls experimentation
with a range o methods or image making

accentuates both her subject and the imagined
tangibility o the medium. Her organic and
alluring photographs resonate with a strong
emotional involvement and attempt to depict
the true and unique beauty o natural orms,
while inspiring her own wonder in the viewer.

In James Lesters autobiographical series,
he casts himsel in the role o long-lost or
distant amily members, producing a study
o hereditary and genetic traits. Through a
subtlety o expression and body language,
gleaned rom old amily photo albums, an
evocation is created o the character o those
relatives whom Lesterhas never met. In doing
so, the perormance based, photographic
study orges a link with these individuals that
transcends mere blood ties.

Aisha Greenidge-Noorgats Playhouse acts
as a photographic exploration o a space in
which she experienced trauma as a child. The
amily sitting room becomes a place shrouded
in darkness, the images aesthetic refects this
turmoil and with their sot ocus, reerences the
process o memory. The abric o the space has
become orever intertwined with a painul past;
though, this cathartic work, sets the door ajar,
airing the room, absorbing a part oGreenidge-
Noorgats anguish. Also included are images
rom the Meat & Flowers series, an attempt to
capture the essence o what appears repulsive
and beautiul, in immediate juxtaposition.

In The Invisible Age, Stuart Leckenby seeks
to make a statement on the ate that society
has waiting in store or women in their sixth
decade. These portraits are intended to
represent the notion that these women
are oten socially undervalued, politically
underrepresented and largely ignored by
the opposite sex. The stillness and passivity
o these images' subjects, is a testament to
preconceived ideas and prejudices. These
portraits act as a very real reminder o this
existence o this 'invisible' demographic and
what it wants to say: We exist.

Charys Elmer
Charys Ellmer has taken a set o Thematic
Apperception Test cards as the starting point
or her series o narrative photography. TAT
cards are designed or use in psychological
examinations, depicting various provocative yet
ambiguous images, which the subject is asked to
interpret, allowing the attendant psychologist a
window into their patients personal history and
attitudes. Narrative photography runs corollary
to this process, asking viewers to consider and
read a scene as a story. No interpretation is
wrong, merely a version o the truth presented
through a medium that can be said to blend
veracity and illusion in equal measure.

photography. The theme o motion runs
throughout this set, in which the photographer
reveals one o the mediums most ormidable
abilities; to capture that which the human eye
could never see. While technically polished,
clean and crisp, commercially minded
photographs, Jackson looks beyond mere
depiction and nds a visual language that
gives a lie to his subjects, while at the same
time reinorcing the power o photography.

This series unveils a side to the Catholic Church
that oten goes unnoticed and is unmentioned
in popular discourse; the positive communities
that can be created when the Church opens itsel
to less dogmatic doctrine. When Hargreaves
sexuality came into confict with his amilys
preconceived ideas o aith, a schism was created,
ultimately causing him, as it does or many others,
to reject his religion altogether. Last year he
attended Mass at All Hallows Church in Leeds, an
openly inclusive Church that celebrates diversity.
The subsequent photographs document and
explore his reunion with aith, and the accepting
community that acilitated it.
