About Aidan McCarthy

I am a London based photographer whose background is in the fashion industry,working with both avant garde designers and editorial titles, as well as commercial clients. I have recently developed a new, non fashion, strand in my portfolio, in which I have tried to capture moods of mystery and beauty. These are the fugitives that I am trying to trap. Recent work includes the ‘Circle of Confusion’ solo exhibition at the DPG Gallery in Glasgow - a show which also came to London in November 2005, and was sponsored by the international law firm LOVELLS, for whom some of the work in the exhibition was commissioned.

I am interested in the transformational and metaphorical power of photography, and in particular looking to create layered photographs which need to be contemplated gently in a fast moving world. My particular inspiration is the tension found in the interface between the natural and the artificial, often found in the City, a place where we vibrate between the common need to congregate and conform, and yet are ultimately alone on our own journeys.
