Jonathan JK Morris Graduated from Swansea Metropolitan University
“My major project documents youth culture. I've focused on a group of youths who gather regularly in the city centre of Swansea. I have deliberately taken a positive, almost celebratory approach in order to represent them, this is in direct opposition to the mainstream media, whose articles are mostly negative about young people in the UK. This is a long term project, which has allowed me to build a level of trust with those I've photographed, and it has enabled me to travel home with some of the youths in order to better understand who they are.
In my practice I want to take a considered look at social issues in the UK, providing an alternative to the mainstream media's superficial, and negative approach. Such an approach I believe doesn't investigate deep enough into exploring alternative cultures in the UK. I believe, that style of reporting that doesn't allow us to understand the differences in our society, instead it manages to push us away from one another, thereby creating further social problems.”
