BIG DEAL
Working as a celebrity photojournalist, you often wait weeks for a shot of a Hollywood A-Lister only to have the news cycle shift, causing your photo to get buried, thumbnailed, and recontextualized beyond your control. When they do see the light of day, they’re printed on poor quality material meant to be discarded within the week. That’s why Banjo McLachlan is taking his photographs out of the gossip rags and presenting them for the first time as high-quality – sometimes life-sized – prints to be considered on their own terms. Presented this way, Banjo gives us glimpses into daily life with a depth of feeling that is lost in the short attention span of Hollywood reporting.
