So this was for Statagies Magazine which was a magazine for the advertising world in France. Simple portrait in an office, as boring as it gets! Before a shoot I’d find myself leafing through catalogues I’d bought at the Musee Dapper. It was a marvellous little place and they had these amazing African arts exhibitions.
I remember seeing Kota and Dogoon masks and thinking maybe I could do something like that in my photography. So for this shoot with Pascal Calzada I wanted his face surrounded by feathers. I was using a Pentax 6×7 and only had about 10 shots on a roll. I think I slowed down the shutter speed to about ¼ sec and when I saw the flash fire I pulled the camera away from him. The good old days of film!

Newport, U.K.| 1990
This series was photographed in Newport, Wales. The work looks at everyday life in the city during a period of change and uncertainty. Children played in abandoned buildings left behind by redevelopment. In church halls, ballet lessons and drawing classes carried on, giving structure and creativity to young people’s lives. At the same time, older residents kept up their routines, swimming together and holding on to traditions of community. The photographs record ordinary moments in Newport—play, learning, and leisure—set against the backdrop of a city in transition.

“Peter wanted to capture what he saw on his travels. Drawing and painting felt too slow, but in 1976 he discovered that the camera was perfect. With just a couple of lenses and a few rolls of film in his pocket, he could create memories to last a lifetime—each picture telling its own story.” www.instagram.com/colnagoeps/
