Street Fashion Jack Davison Foam

26 Jack Davison turns this year, but his image is already the mainstay of some of the biggest fashion magazines companies, including the New York Times reprinted recently. His love for the spontaneous portrait, on the street, turn the boy from Essex in a major fashion photographer who was a comfortable foam solo exhibition in Amsterdam, now opening.

Walking the road with Jack Davison down may take some time. A man was on the phone talking adjusted, a pretty young girl a bored construction worker sitting in a hurry next to the road, an old bald soaking a pint of care; Davison approaches each without hesitation a moment. After he imagined and for a few seconds in the chat that revolves around them, or consider or kneeling with his camera, often inches from his face. He still talks about it all the time, fire the design and quickly a few shots. He is relaxed, composed at the time and after a short grace and left, walking along the road, just check her new portrait.

Davison presented the BJP office on a racing bike that had seen better days, sweating in the sun, a loose white shirt, jeans - shorts and wearing a helmet. It did not look like a fashion photographer rapidly growing. Like any 25, he is still working on things to get your head around the complexity of making a career in photography. "I do not know how to use this thing, really," he said, his camera shows. "I just press buttons at random."

But if it is self-deprecating to a fault, made Davison, quickly. It has been commissioned by magazines such as the New York Times Magazine, and another garage, among many others in order, and has more than 10,000 followers on Instagram and Flickr. When I buy a round of drinks, she started her camera briefly played just taken a picture and then published his social media. Later that day, his portrait of the smiling man in high vis jacket has hundreds of likes and dozens of comments.

Some photographers may be tempted to build their images; Davison, online sharing is quite natural, because that's where he learned his craft. He grew up in Essex, a marine biologist are hoping, but he began to take photos when he was 15 years with the IXUS Canon family, and interested enough to D50 to buy a "doubtful" Nikon on eBay.

It was really Flickr error, allowing you to share your work to get what he calls his photographic training. He studied never formally photography or art, but chose English literature at the University of Warwick to read; one of the first images of its portfolio in a dormitory fantastic brutalism of Warwick was taken, and shows a naked girl near a window, pulled the curtains, light scattering of trees.

"I think it helps, I'm never as" learned "in the formal sense," he said. "He never told me how to do things, and, never specified limits, so I've never had a problem with the experiment."

After college Davison had to take a six-month tour in the US, but the time, decided to create "a work that encapsulates my philosophy as a photographer."

"We have 10,000 miles on the road," he said. "I then walk climb the streets looking for people to talk and to photograph. I am dependent spontaneous moments with my songs."

The resulting series, 26 states was to see in Seres BJP topic published in January 2014. It is a heady mix of portraits, mostly white and black, lit from crass, older women very prominent friendly, little kids try to much for boys in the residential street in search actually are. "I am a documentary photographer sees," he said. "But I'm more interested in the beauty and strangeness of a moment that I'm with requests, or trying to make an argument."

Davison "values of spontaneity, the unexpected moment" especially, but also happy with his picture to play before or after the event. He was "obsessed [Salvador] Dali as a child" and is "now much about Man Ray, Lisette Model, Alfred Stieglitz thinks."

It could be a portrait take in the shade, in a reflection or intentionally blurred lens or might scratch the negative or tear the image once printed. In one picture, a woman, a piece of glass in his hand, an angle looking through his reflection; The face of another model is wrapped in a blue light, half his face is lost in the confusion.

"I am always experimenting shots," says Davison. "I try to keep things always fun, so rancid things. There is a certain joy some Plexiglas discarded in the street, pick it up and threw him to see through it."
