Local advertising photographer Richard Pinches exhibits part of his master's fine art photography degree he completed at the University of Hertfordshire 2020-21.
Richard Pinches creates rich, textural photographs using analogue photography techniques and organic treatments. The series of photographs on display are powerful, personal and grounded in themes of loss and conflict.
The work is described as ‘organic’ photography. It is based on treatments of non-digital (film) based images of conflict that have been distressed by various techniques including soil microbes, ignition with gunpowder and a 12 gauge shotgun acting directly on the photographic tin plates. These various techniques have produced an eclectic set of unique and stunning images, originally titled ‘Barbs, Burnt, Buried and Blasted’ when exhibited as a full set in 2021 but here simply called ‘Beyond Earth’ as the key images are reminiscent of a view of our planet.
