Beneath the Looking Glass

You might not consider a phone box a likely subject for photography. Phone boxes are now, for the most part, obsolete – dirty, uncared-for pieces of street furniture, a receptacle for rubbish, covered with graffiti and the remains of advertising flyers.

Close-up shots of the surface of the glass using a macro lens, conceal the context of the subject matter and reveal a world of colours, forms, textures and mysterious patterns.
