In my personal opinion, some photography is at it’s most compelling when there is a fine line between quality and mediocrity. Most of the time it’s because something is so subtle you don’t even notice it at first. In a world that is saturated by images, artists can play with this situation to produce an illusively simple and uncategorical body of work, tied together merely by wisps of implied emotions. It very often results in an engaging photograph, allowing the viewer to revisit it many times over.
The pictures above are from Adam Jeppesen’s book “Wake”. Although small in size, the collection is hauntingly beautiful, where one could only begin to describe as a mixture of nostalgia and loneliness. These photos all operate in a twilight space and time, where it’s neither (doesn’t matter) really day or night, making them share a common atmosphere. It is a ‘comment’ on society; and rather than try to manipulate it, it stands back and observes.
