Roger Ballen: Shadow Chamber

Roger Ballen’s style in the photos was abstract and not defined by anything. He focuses on the things that the people do in their daily live and the interactions they have with their surroundings. In his works although they depict everyday life there is no way to tell if he actually sets up these photos or if they are actually in the moment. In Roger’s photos despite the conditions that they are in, the kids look entertained by their pets and toys that they have obtained. Other than their isolation and lost feeling you wouldn’t believe these kids have any estranged feelings of their poverty. The images are surreal and psychological and he captures this even better by using shadows to show darkness.
