Background
Darren James’ current work focuses on liminal or threshold states. This series of images evokes a dreamlike mood, as if its subjects were imagined or partially-remembered. The collection includes both figures and landscapes. James’ dark imagery, using low exposures and unorthodox locations, gives his works an ethereal or intangible quality. The work invites the viewer to engage with it as if the images were from the viewer’s own dreams or memories.
Darren James is a Melbourne-based photographic artist and photojournalist.
He has lived and worked in Australia, the US, UK and Ireland, in addition to travelling extensively.
