Richard Oughton
If asked where you would find me it would be on the edge of the dance floor in the shadows. An unawareness of the camera enabling me to capture that decisive moment.
It’s almost two decades now since I picked up a camera and it’s been an amazing journey. Focusing on underground British subcultures including Northern Soul, Mod, Ska and Skinhead with their pathognomonic aesthetic and rituals, I explore the exceptional dynamic between people and their all-consuming passion be it music, scooters or fashion.
Also of integral importance to my work, is to narrate the importance of both individual identity and a collective sense of camaraderie that underpins these cultural movements.
My photographic look and style is about capturing and creating a unique and atmospheric look to evoke the senses this also resonates within my portraiture and commissioned pieces. My style may not be to everyone’s liking but if you’ve read this far then you know what you’re getting yourself in to…it’s all about the light.
