Sarah Larby — MA Photography
I was recently invited to the MA Photography Private View, and I was truly blown away by the incredible talent of the students. It was a powerful reminder, 30 years after graduating from LCP (now LCC), of just how important it is to support and provide platforms for the next generation to showcase their work. I wanted to start with Sarah Larby her background in painting and sculpture which greatly informs her photography practice; where the studio environment acts as her blank canvas.
Sarah uses light and colour in a very painterly way to create dream-like scenes, drawing inspiration from different painting movements to craft atmospheric images – whether that be the moody tones of a Rothko or the light-heartedness of Monet’s impressionistic works. The final works have a sense of fluidity and timelessness, and all her images are lifted by a subtle thread of emotion that matches their colour palette.
