CANDELAR 2022: FEBRUELA
FEBRUARY FEATURE:
Tom Ridout’s Februela feature in the Candelar 2022
Tom Ridout, Sexy Spot, 2018
Canada-based Tom Ridout’s image, “Sexy Spot” is part of a larger ongoing photographic series on misplaced and abandoned shopping carts.
“My work presents the distinct forms that can be found within the visual disarray of the places that I photograph. My objective approach to photography maximizes visual clarity. The primary subjects of my photography are natural and urban places in a state of change. The basis of my approach is strongly influenced by my past career as a professional designer and my current career as an architectural photographer. I have a broad and nuanced understanding of both natural and urban environments.”
