Calcutta Ronan Haughton

'Calcutta' is a record of my journey and a contemplation of the excitement, banality and shock of the city. The Mobile Pictures Series and the selection of images in this book pays homage to analogue instant photography. This work, in part, documents my relationship with the places I traveled to together with my partner (who is from India) as seen through the lens of the iPhone that became my camera of choice from 2009 to 2014. However the narrative is not always in the order in which an account or sequence of events occurred and there are also images that are dreamlike, abstract or magical, which skew any attempt at linear storytelling.
