Kit Young (1984) begann seine Karriere als Fotograf im Jahr 2009, als er sich in Paris einer Gruppe von Fotografen um Gerard Moulin anschloss. In dieser Zeit begann er die unendlichen Möglichkeiten der Arbeit in der Dunkelkammer zu erforschen und die Gegenüberstellung von scheinbar unzusammenhängender Momente, um daraus visuelle Muster einer Serie zu erarbeiten.

Kit Young was born in 1984. He set out on his photographic journey in 2009 when he moved to France where he joined a group of Paris-based photographers led by Gérard Moulin. It was during this period that Kit began to explore the infinite possibilities of darkroom printing and the juxtaposition of seemingly unrelated moments in time to create visual patterns as part of series-based work.

“I consider myself to be a photographer and a printer. I think that’s an important distinction to make. I don’t just take photos; I make photos too. The photographer in me is responsive, impulsive, reacting to subject matter on the spur of the moment, more often than not giving very little thought to anything more than the lines and tone of what’s in front of me; the printer in me is methodical, exacting, always working in a more meditative way. I do, however, think that both the photographer and printer in me are curious, inquisitive and often playful – and neither is afraid to make mistakes.”
