PHOTOGRAPHER ALEXANDER JAMES, LONDON - WORK PRACTICE & SYNOPSIS
The team at Distil Ennui are able to undertake client briefs which incorporate the latest in digital workflows including CGI.
It is however important to note that Alexander's personal works without exception are always presented 'as shot' without cropping or post production of any kind; seeing the process as cathartic rather than a critical one, and this dedication to 'in camera’ purity establishes a predominant focal point for his practice.
This allows the images to flow and connect to each other with a sense of grace and simplicity. Rather than appearing precious and overly concerned with aesthetics, the images more evidently describe a life and eye made behind the camera. Attempting to present the beguiling beauty of our everyday confinements, re-proposing the ordinary, displaced and the overlooked.
DISTIL ENNUI . definition :- to extract the essence and beauty of life to appease world weariness.
