I like to observe people absorbed in the ways and passages of their daily lives. The camera gives me an opportunity to engage and hold still unselfconscious moments of everyday exchanges between people on and just off-street level. My photographic engagement opens up the possibility of empathy with people of a different culture in an urban setting quite often at different stages of modern development. I am fascinated with comparing similarities and differences between Inner Mongolian people and my life-experience of the everyday in Australia.
For myself, documentary photography means making a document that can take or ‘capture’ people in their own space, interactions between themselves and others within an environment most familiar to them. At this time, I am not quite so interested in staged photographs. I am fascinated to draw maximum realism into the photograph as my objective, simply to document people and their immediate situation.
