This series, entitled “30 Minutes Walking” is inspired by quiet walks through the streets of Paris. These portraits and landscapes reflect my exploration of light, presence and observation. Each image represents a step in my journey as both an artist and a learner as I strive to capture the essence of fleeting moments with new found inspiration and intention.
Derek Hayes (b. 1977) is an artist working with photography. Born and raised in Ontario, Canada, Derek now calls Maine home. Derek values photography as a tool for noticing the familiar and showing its underlying beauty and peculiarity. He strives to make images that seem approachable at first glance, where mystery and the uncanny are revealed on closer reading and possibly unanswerable questions are pondered. His vision is rooted in realism, the world as it is offered, but his photographs merge reality with artifice and construction.
