Thomas Holloway - BA (Hons) Photography
The Lament of the Partisan
Over the past year Thomas Holloway has experimented with historically inspired portraiture, with his most recent works inspired by the song ‘"The lament of the partisan" written by WW2 French Resistance leader Emmanuel d'Astier de La Vigerie. Initially influenced by the Leonard Cohen version of the song, holloway began researching Partisans from across Europe during the second world war to develop the style for his project. This work aims to highlight a perhaps underrepresented group within warfare, an homage to freedom fighters and their impact. The way these portraits are captured represents my modern interpretation of the historical source material with a focus on capturing intensity and identity.
