The images of In Motion are a series of black and white photographs that capture ordinary people in action and movement. Although the photos are composed in a quick journalistic way, they posses a certain lyrical quality that makes the viewer pause and look closer.
From Yannis’ viewpoint, the environment always plays a visual partner to the actions of the subject matter. You pass by a jogger in full rhythm in the underpass of a foot tunnel — not along the railing by the Rideau Canal. A girl in a playground is bracketed by the strong lines of an outdoor basketball court. This unexpected vantage point adds dimension and emotion to the moment. These are not unfamiliar experiences but they feel different.
Although motion is the main characteristic of all Yannis’ photos, the intimate glimpses of daily life pause to the viewer. What activities go on in a typical, normal day all around us are what is worth noting and capturing in the microsecond that it happens.
