BEDTIME STORIES

Photographer: Liam Arthur - @liamarthurphoto Stylist: Alice Timms - @thisisalicesworld MU Artist: Victoria Poland - @victoriapolandmakeup

I am a London based Advertising and Editorial photographer, my work focuses on moments, lifestyle and portraiture.

I work in a variety of areas from shooting commercial advertising, to capturing documentary images for charities, and the style of my images reflects a mix of these genres. I am most excited when shooting people, and fundamentally I am driven by the desire to tell a story.

I try to make this the essence of my images, whether shooting for a brand or shooting for a magazine editorial, it is about capturing something that is both descriptive and beautiful.

Many people have a few private moments left. There is a time that I find just before I go to bed when everything is quiet that my thoughts become my own, unpolluted by the bombardment of data we encounter routinely, and often seek out.

Introspection begins for a period before I fall asleep a time to reflect on the world and myself, with the pressures of constant positive projection this seems a time to reflect on the darker realities, a time to process the experiences and feelings difficult to translate in a world living in the fast lane.

It is about the time you find yourself truly alone after all connections have been switched off and powered down, the moments that you are with simply your own thoughts and feelings. I

t is the twilight where social interaction becomes a personal time, and the narrative is real and immediate. For some, this becomes a time for the thoughts we are not so comfortable to communicate.

....Time for our failures and fears to be realized and processed....
