“The advent of AI is a call to arms for photographers”

Today, more than ever before, the photographers’ duty to document the real world is critical. In his debut exhibition, Kip (of Studio Kalava) explores the beauty and tranquillity seen in often overlooked everyday settings. His approach is steeped in teachings of the godfathers of street photography, and applied to the environments around us today. Kip seeks to create art through mere observation of his surroundings. Together with an intentionality in composition, this exhibition shows many moments of tranquillity in our busy world. From bright hues to muted tones, a painting-like quality is achieved in his photography. A style that evokes an almost conflicted sense of introspection and calm.
