Came across this series recently, again on the Behance network.
A lovely portrait set, by Toby Dixon, featuring the people and dogs that frequent the Wentworth Park dog races.
What lures me (no pun intended) to the series is the level of character portrayed in the faces, yet it is a very simple headshot style portrait series.
The use of lighting is minimal yet dramatic, and the image style is very reminiscent of Andrzej Drahgan, with a sharp almost over processed style. However, whereas Draghan deals with the macabre and surreal, the work in Lure show's a very human side.
Pictures of the dogs, trainer's, bookies and punters are all represented, some fit the archetypal mould of their respective position in the dog racing industry, others are more of a surprise.
This is perhaps an area where I could expand upon the work I did in the national identity brief, the only problem is where do I find the subject?
