Michael Radford
MFA Student, Photography
My practice is centred around power structures which formulate in society. Looking at the machine itself and products which manifest as its result. Using photography to both interrogate the subject matter, as well as the photographic object, as a representation device. Which both informs and constructs our visual understanding of contemporary culture.
Michael Radford graduated with first-class honours in Photography and Video Art from the University of Bedfordshire School of Art and Design in Luton, England in 2013.
