Canadian street photographer and film director Iracha Muthuri III only recently started to add subjects to his photography.
As he explains, it helped “push away some social anxiety with it” and describes it as a milestone in his artistic journey.
This shift resulted in frames that catch passers-by in motion, almost in a rush, contrasting with a steady background of the city’s infrastructure. It will be very interesting to observe Iracha go more into that direction and see what he can do further down the photographic path. He is turning his lens towards movement and lack of predictability.
His interest in capturing movement overtakes his interest in framing, but this does not mean the concept is being removed from the equation. “As an artist I’ve always tried to create something I am proud with,” Iracha adds. Through unedited, uncropped pieces, the artist maintains the integrity and purity of moments that deserve a second look.
Read our “Metamorphosis” issue in full
In the 3rd issue of RAWGUE., 24 visual artists and poets share a common pursuit: authenticity over perfection. The subtle art of becoming, the passage through various stages of artistic contemplation, the ever-shifting states of mind, feeling, and medium, or the act of altering reality to underline emotion or meaning – metamorphosis.
We’re a team of writers using our craft to spotlight art in its most honest form. RAWGUE. started as a bi-monthly editorial experiment where each issue’s theme is dictated by the submitted work, thus removing editorial bias from the equation and preserving a more raw approach. We focus on all forms of poetry: written, photographed, painted, drawn, and filmed.
