"Despite being Hulse’s primary motivation for creating the series, Sniper also raises important questions about both the photographic medium and issues of surveillance, privacy and terrorism in contemporary life. Sitting somewhere between photojournalism and cinema, the stills recall haunting photographs from history, such as the assassination of John F. Kennedy in Dallas, along with cinematic masterpieces, like Alfred Hitchcock’s classic 1950s thriller, Rear Window." #CriticalThinking #VisualLiteracy

"I’ve always been drawn to night-time atmospheres. Like many other photographers I guess, I like the world of Brassai and Weegee. In the past I’ve photographed, in black and white, many parts of the underworld at night. Today, it is with color that I explore it, staying awake throughout the night in metropolises, even though I am not a sleepwalker, insomniac or even really a nocturnal person. Simply put, I like photographing nocturnal atmospheres and lighting. I just love the artificial colors, a light upon a face, or even a shadow projected upon a wall that then becomes a screen" #CriticalThinking #VisualLiteracy #Storytelling

"Migration has been a constant photographic theme for Mr. Castro Garcia, who was born and raised in Oxford, England, by parents who had immigrated from Spain’s Galicia region seeking economic opportunities.
