Alistair Guy has been at the centre of London’s fashion scene for nearly two decades, producing portraiture for the likes of Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar.
‘Incidentals’ takes his photography in a new direction. Inspired by travelling on cruise ships “Incidentals’ offers a very different take on the notion of travelling the world aboard a luxury ocean liner. Cruises are commonly associated with qualities of grand and sweeping movements, large vistas and horizons.
As a counterpoint Alistair Guy directs the traveller’s gaze to overlooked details he observes, capturing incidental moments, looking for the ephemeral and trivial.
Alistair Guys photos enter a vibrant dialogue with the wider context/setting of the cruise. Moving between the detail and the large canvass of the cruise context in which they are exhibited they offer a dynamic reflective – and the same time refreshing – experience.
