JULIAN LENNON - Beautiful Photographs

Really beautiful work by Julian Lennon - and like his father he has an innate desire to make the world a better place and it is inspiring...

Here is a nice article by Cait Munro - Artnet News Website/blog



HOPE DEFINED JULIAN LENNON'S EERILY BEAUTIFUL PHOTOGRAPHS...
Julian Lennon is a true jack of all trades. As a photographer, musician, documentary filmmaker, and yes, the son of John Lennon (with John's first wife Cynthia Powell), he also finds time for charity work with the White Feather Foundation, an environmental and humanitarian outreach organization he founded in 2007. In fact, it was his work with White Feather that inspired "Horizon," his current solo show at Emmanuel Fremin Gallery.

In this series of black-and-white and sepia-toned photographs, Lennon attempts to bring back the big skies, sweeping landscapes, and weather-worn but hopeful faces that he encountered on a recent mission to help bring clean drinking water to villages in Kenya and Ethiopia.

"I was gobsmacked by it all," Lennon says. "Being there really drew it home, the expanse of the countryside…I just took as many pictures as I could, trying to capture a few odd beauties." When he got home and began to sift through the film, he realized he had somewhere between five and ten thousand shots.

The series is a departure from the kind of photography he's best known for—shots of his brother, Sean, on tour; a series of portraits of Charlene, Princess of Monaco taken moments before she was crowned; pensive, behind-the-scenes pictures of the band U2. These are natural subjects, as this is the world Lennon was born into.

But like his father, he appears to have an innate desire to make the world a better place somehow. "It's all about the horizon of hope," he says, in reference to the title of both the exhibition and one of the principal works. "You can see that [the subjects] want to move forward with knowledge and wisdom and can do that. And there's every chance for the next generation to have a better life."

"[I want people] to get a sense of what other culture's lives are really like," Lennon stated.

"Probably something in the future," Lennon said in response to a question about what decade he'd like to live in. "I'd like to see where we go. I've seen where we've been, now I want to know what's ahead."

Our only request is that he bring plenty of film with him.
