traces (swinging)

A ongoing project investigating the space that’s been left by the change in attitude to photographing children in public and looking at what’s been left behind.

Often involving found objects abandoned by the families these will stand in stead of what used to be one of the most photographed subjects by amateur and professional photographers alike.

An internalised taboo has come into force that stops photographers from feeling comfortable photographing children in the public sphere, even their own.

An image of predatory behaviour that is leaving a huge gap in the photographic record of social history.
