UK-based Colley’s playful, performative and research-based approach to photography has seen him compose striking images using film, sound and archival material. A recent graduate from the BA Documentary Photography course at the University of South Wales, he has since been shortlisted for the international Guernsey Photography Festival competition and the De Pietri Artphilein Foundation Photobook prize.
My projects are research-focused and linked to the conceptual ideas cemented within the writings of various critical thinkers and philosophers. Although there are conceptual ideas and personal subject matter within the work, it is also heavily concerned with current affairs and universal themes and ideas.
I have a performative, playful approach that often involves self-portraiture that echoes elements of surrealism and film noir. My work is constructed using images, video, sound and archival material.Photography: Alex ColleyOften when shooting personal work, I want the images to feel playful and surreal. So, similarly, with this shoot, I focused on making the images both aesthetically pleasing, jarring but also humorous. It’s taught me a lot about the generosity and openness of strangers.
