White Knight

This series is a visual exploration of love, life, and death, following my father’s passing from a brain tumor. Using a vaseline-coated lens and other experimental techniques, I blur the lines of reality to reflect the transition between this realm and the afterlife.

About Artist

William Josephs Radford

William Josephs Radford, born August 23, 1998, in rural Andalucía, Spain, discovered his passion for photography at 15, leading him to pursue formal education in fine art photography at the University of Gloucestershire, UK. His distinct artistic style, marked by striking compositions and fearless exploration of unconventional subject matters, has garnered significant acclaim, notably with his series "DEFLOWERED" earning a nomination for the Boynes award in 2023 and another nomination at the Refocus awards the same year. Radford's mastery of light painting and his deep admiration for transgressive art movements, influenced by artists like Andress Serrano and Sophie Calle, continue to shape his evolving artistic journey, with a commitment to pushing boundaries and inspiring others along the way.
