Pride in the Moment

This series embraces authentic human interactions. As queer people, we do not fit neatly into predefined boxes; diversity is more than just eleven colours and the edges are often blurred. Black and white removes this ambiguity and focuses the audience on the people, regardless of how they identify.

About Artist

Mike French

Mike French trained as an Architect at Plymouth University before shifting his focus to graphic design in 2011. He has worked commercially with a variety of clients, but documentary photography has remained a constant device for exploration. Phenomenology and the interactions we experience in the space surrounding us are major components in Mike’s photography. There are strong links to sustainability and social documentary in much of his projects. This exploration of how we appropriate our surroundings led to a second place RIBA photography award as well as being hosted on podcasts and published in Devon Life, Outdoor Fitness Magazine, Photography News & Bristol 24/7.
