Kelly-Ann Bobb's Caribbean Photographic Practice

Kelly-Ann Bobb is an analogue freelance photographer based in the twin island state of Trinidad and Tobago.

She has always had a natural inclination towards creativity. After completing medical school, she fell in love with the unending complexities of film photography.

She utilizes photography as a tool of unmasking, telling stories that would not otherwise be told. Revealing as much of herself as the subjects she photographs.

Things we chatted about on the show:

 

We spent a fair part of the time talking about two of Kelly’s projects that have received widespread acclaim.“Home Alone” and “Sacred Bodies and the Divine” – go to Kelly’s IG page to see examples.

The “Home Alone” project was born out of lockdown and explores how we handle solitude – its more than that so listen to the show as Kelly explains it better.

 

Gum Oil printing – Kelly shared her experiences and love for all things alternative print making.

 

Both Kelly and Erik recommend the work of Anna Ostania for all things gum oil.
