Manyone – Photography by Brenton Parry
MANYONE by Brenton Parry
Ten years after my last solo show, I set myself the challenge of exhibiting again, taking a concept that began in lockdown experimenting with an existing shoot and if I could push myself into new areas.
In a blatant play on words the title MANYONE stems from the obvious fact there are many versions of one person in each image. The concept started as a purely visual experiment but as is common for me, I worked out exactly what themes I was exploring somewhere along the way.
Making our way through life we leave impressions on people and one person can leave dozens of different and conflicting impressions, even in the course of one day. MANYONE has become the visual representation of that.
Starting in the studio, I always knew that this series would venture beyond the studio and into natural light outdoors. Later in the process I decided that some of my models and I would also have to venture underwater.
About Brenton Parry
Photography is a passion instilled by my father who gifted me a camera identical to his own when I was in high school. Increasingly over the years since my photography has become more and more of a passion. As a teenager my forays into photography always tended towards portraits and people. In my mid twenties this evolved to focus on male figure photography. This has resulted in two previous solo gallery exhibitions, a third series launched on twitter and three group exhibitions.
In 2016 photographed 100 portraits of nude LGBTIQ people to be shared with their #barenakedtruth stories. These images were then chosen to become the face of Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras for 2017 and the lead float in the parade.
