Pixelwitch Pictures Artist Statement

A graduate in Fine Art, Jacqui founded Pixelwitch Pictures in 2004 as an umbrella for her photography and film-making skills.

My interest in documentary comes from working in film: the spontaneity of catching the moment, a heightened observational awareness.  Taking photographs, I work solo, and enjoy the simplicity of being self-contained and discreet within a setting.  Doing stills for drama is always enjoyable, and there's always a chance to get some behind-the-scenes shots, too.

I love people.  In photographing live events I get to see all the nuances of human behaviour.  A moment of self-consciousness, the glance of an eye straight into the lens, an unconscious gesture.

Photography for me is capturing a single moment among the infinite, the intimacy within the public, the person within the physical, whatever the space, situation, or feeling.

Observing people as social animals drives my lens, seeking their quirks, their individuality as we move through our interconnected world, thinking we are different when we all know and share every emotion if we can open our eyes, just as I open my shutter.  Reportage in heartbeats, raw, close, personal, a female frame on a world view, micro and macro.

Regularly shooting one of the UK's pioneering club nights, Sheffield's Razor Stiletto - a riotous visual clash and electro mash-up - allows me to document the vibrant people inhabiting Sheffield's night subculture.  A joint exhibition (Razor Stiletto: DogHeaded People) with the club's resident artist Tokyo Jo, ran in August 2007 and February 2008 and can be found here:  http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=11560&id=643021861.

From this developed a project that paints my style vividly, Latrino Girls.  Women in toilets, responding in that most intimate of spaces, inhibition free, trusting the camera to open the door that is always closed. The place that no man can enter is available and free, creating an exhibition that unmasks the intimate into the public domain.

Latrino Gals: Series One is a forthcoming book and will be showing as an exhibition in Sheffield and London later in 2008.
