As Time Passes and Details Fade, Photographs Turn into Memories

"As time passes and details fade, the photographs that we choose to hold onto become our memories. As a result, when an image is made, explicitly or subconsciously, decisions are being made about how things will be remembered." These images are Australian photographer's Mark Forbes: Collected Memories.

His debut monograph presents a cohesive blend of carefully composed scenes, from faded interiors and common, relatable spaces, to the romance of our environment being reclaimed by nature. Turning the pages, there is a stirring sense of both subtle ordinary beauty and inherent personality sprinkled across each of the large plates. Forbes' photographic preference, using medium format film, is slow and methodicalβ€”and this approach can be felt throughout the quiet pages.
