Derby Daze Volume 1 collects the pick of the non-square format images from my 2013 roller derby shoots. This is a new re-processing of the images through a different workflow. The result is a significant shift in colour tone, distinguishing them from the original version, which is still available. This new edition also features an updated book design, which I’m standardising across all books going forward.
The goal for these photos was to treat the images in a painterly fashion, thinking in terms of abstract patterns of colour, without trying to prioritise the representational nature of the picture. The result sits somewhere in a Venn-overlap between pastel & ink-coloured charcoal drawings, Futurist motion imagery, and the friezes of a Hellenistic monument.
