About

Jacqui Booth conveys atmospheres and emotions by engaging with the landscape, shaping stories through and around it. Most excursions begin with an OS map, starting from the edgelands and aiming towards the wilderness, the lost places. Her exhibited work has a sculptural element, using reclaimed boards, tarpaulins and projectors to display her photography.

…“I feel that the land is just about the only place that allows you to draw your own interpretation. The contours of the land, the ruined traces of humanity that pervade it and the foliage covering it are mute. Even the prevailing environmental factors have no voice really, other than the stories people have applied through folklore and literature. I aim to make it speak afresh, be it a howl, whisper or a lullaby...”

She works in both digital and film.

Education:

2020-21 East Meets West Masterclass: East Meets West 2020 was formed of 15 emerging photographers wishing to broaden their perspectives and push the boundaries of their personal development. The masterclass programme is a collaborative project between FORMAT, QUAD (Derby) and GRAIN Projects (Birmingham). During the masterclass sessions, industry and art form leaders shared their knowledge and practical advice on developing a successful career. The masterclass programme included group portfolio review sessions where reviewers Abbas Zahedi, Colin Pantall, Clare Strand, Louise Fedotov-Clements, Max Barnett, Mahtab Hussain, Monica Allende, Natasha Caruana, Peta Murphy, and Tom Seymour, provided feedback regarding work and current projects. Building upon this feedback, the group used the assigned budget to create a self directed outcome.
