Akin Brown I like doing things; taking photos of everyone, everywhere, and everything is one of them.

Some work only becomes possible because people agree to step into an unfinished idea with you.

A few moments from the making of something I’ve been quietly building, the carrying, waiting, adjusting, walking back and trying again.

Thank you to Wahab OL for the trust and physical commitment, Anastasiia for the hands, eyes and patience, and for noticing the moments outside my frame.

I’m keeping the finished work close a little longer. For now, this is simply a note of gratitude to the people who helped make the looking possible.

This is often what stops me: a play in an ordinary passage, a person held by light, lives glimpsed through windows and the strange little coincidences life offers only when you’re looking.

“Between Places”

A study of presence and place. How we occupy the city, and what changes when we stop to look.

With Anastasiia, thank you for trusting the idea and bringing your presence to it. A joy making these together 👏🏾!

For a moment, we’re both deciding what the photograph can be: what they might reveal, and when I should press the shutter. Some people dance, sometimes we perform for one another. Sometimes trust arrives.

You never quite know.

On the quest for taste embellishment, Wes Anderson is quite impeccable.

I’m starting to realise I photograph people the way I remember places.
