A diverse visual diary from photographer Brendan George Ko

Date
29 January 2016

The first part of photographer Brendan George Ko’s Scrapbook project is a diverse series consisting of subjects ranging from bodies intertwined in faceless embraces to ultra vibrant flowers and foliage.

Inspired by a life of travel, Brendan treats each photograph as document of a memory, person, time or place. The saturated hues and bright lighting of many of his photos highlight the emotional intensity of selected moments. Treating every series he undertakes as part of one lifelong personal project, Brendan captures, “something that once was, something worth remembering.”

Brendan’s personal approach to photography is evident in the variety of themes represented in I, god only made one of me. Photographing everything from dogs in sunglasses and serene sunsets to tourists and young couples in isolated locations, Brendan is contributing to a portfolio of work that he believes will allow his memory to exist after the demise of his physical being.

“I am creating and recreating a history of all that I am, with words, and images, so that I can remember beyond my memory, for a record of being.”
