THE MAKERS

KarlBailey

“Karl is a photographer born in Hampshire, 1991. His work focuses on documenting modern life in Britain, primarily based on the south coast. He is working within his home city of Portsmouth, exploring themes of class, wealth, and politics; Karl has been recently granted a Develop Your Creative Practice grant by Arts Council England to allow him time to explore and develop new work, which you can view under the working title ‘Heavens Light Our Guide’.

Karl has recently created ‘Fascination’ - a collection of photographic stories in a tabloid newspaper format. It brings together past and brand-new works as short and long-form series, some of which will continue in further issues.

The decision to commit to a long-form, physical body of work derives from the contemporary consumption of photography. I wanted to remove the viewing process from tiny phone screens, giving you something tangible that you can hold in your hand and feels more like an experience and less like part of an everyday, automated process.” karlbailey.co.uk the site, whether patrons, users or visitors;
