Street Photography deals with capturing images of the world around in a candid and honest manner, reflecting society in a direct manner and looking at issues with people and places. It is the documentary of the Photography world, however even documentaries these days are often pre-scripted, forced and set up to achieve a certain viewpoint. I am fascinated by the idea that using street photography techniques in film I could capture an image of real life, a reflection of a place that is artistically pleasing without intentionally being so.

Jesse says, regarding his work, “Set in the environment of everyday, this series aims to explore the banality of modern day existence through themes of abandonment, suburbia and daily rituals.” Being a modern practioner, these images ring true to a lifestyle recognised by a lot of people in todays society and so are relatable to a wide audience. The images capture something that is true.
