The Brief: 'Solitude'

'Solitude' can be interpreted in any way you want. You might choose to portray solitude in a literal way, from a more metaphorical or impressionistic point of views. Whatever your interpretation, Alexia Singh from Thomson Reuters will be on hand to judge your masterpieces from 1 October.

'Solitude' in photography, by Alexia Singh:

"Solitude is a concept well suited to the medium of still photography. Through simple use of light and composition — the slope of a shoulder, the tilt of the head — a photograph can reveal a wealth of emotion. But it can also be interpreted in more complex ways. Looking at the work of recently discovered amateur photographer Vivian Maier, you feel her almost obsessive need to capture moments of human interaction. Her hundreds of rolls of films full of haunting self portraits and affectionate vignettes of city life seem to reveal something of her own loneliness and desire to connect.

"In a similar way you feel a brooding presence behind the lens in Andre Kertesz' pictures of New York from the early 1950s, taken from the window of his tiny apartment during a period of professional dissatisfaction and depression. His wonderful picture, Lost Cloud, showing a small cloud against a blue sky, drifting between two looming skyscrapers, seems to perfectly capture his own frustrations and yearnings for freedom.
 
"And the very act of taking pictures is a solitary one. The photographer, in the final moment, is alone behind his lens, looking at the world from a unique angle, always slightly detached. An affinity with a state of solitude is the very essence of being a photographer, so I hope this is a subject that will inspire contributors in many different ways."
