‘Underfoot’ is a series of images taken using a selection of mobile phones, some old, others a bit newer and all with varying degrees of camera quality. Photos have been taken, for the most part in Andalucía, but occasionally in the UK. The collection started back in 2016. What you see here are just a few of this ever-growing collection. The photography here is not concerned with technical mastery or clever composition, it is more a simple catalogue of the objects  which we daily leave scattered  across our streets, paths, parks and beaches. Sometimes these objects are mundane and run of the mill, other times they are more ambiguous and sometimes even poignant. I like to imagine an object’s story before its abandonment - the events that led to that moment, the characters that played a role in their story - was the flattened Sponge Bob wheelie schoolbag the result of a child’s tantrum? Or perhaps it played a part in a clandestine drugs deal.  Now and then we might even find a hidden message in these now rejected items. Filters are never used, I prefer to present the subject in all its dirty glory. All pictures are taken of the object exactly where it is found and are not composed, altered or contrived in any way. The curbs and cobbles, sand and tarmac provide a perfect natural canvas for the rejected protagonists and the occasional manhole lends a cheeky juxtaposition. Not wishing to beautify the images with expensive frames, they are instead mounted on reclaimed and repurposed wood - in this way they are turned into a kind of ‘photo-object’ and are in keeping with the character of the collection . There is, of course, a dark side to 'Underfoot'. Whilst I am completely fascinated by these objects and stories I am at the same time, continually dismayed at the human detritus littering our urban and rural environment. Littering is bad. Don't do it. Please. See more here https://www.instagram.com/underfoot_absowm/?hl=es
