Simon Norfolk (Independent Research)

This is some of Norfolk’s war photography work, he shoots on medium a format camera looking at the effect that war has on places, often documenting places that have been bombed and shot at because of wars, and he has also used long exposures in his work, a good example of this is the middle image where the goats are moving leaving the decaying building in the back ground properly focused, giving the image a feeling of movement, but also of lose because of how the building is falling apart and the people have had to move on because of war.

I like his work, because it’s simple, uncomplicated, and to the point, he shows the destruction and effect that war has on a place, but at the same time making the places look amazing and interesting, but still giving that feeling of something missing, something lost, because of the circumstances and reason for the destruction.
