Edmund Clarke (No Place To Go)

The project titled No Place To Go by photographer Edmund Clarke, looks at asylum seekers living in britain. It shows several portraits of the asylum seekers, mainly in their place of stay,   covering their own faces. The idea of this is to convey their loss of identity, showing them as just a figure and also to show the fear they hold towards their circumstance.







I really like the concept of the people within the images covering their faces and their identity. It makes you wonder about who they are and what their situation is, for them to be in this country. I also like them being square portraits, i think it frames the subjects really well. I like the vibrant blocks of colour within some of the portraits, its brings that extra something to the image to make them eye catching.
