Paul Batt - Service Station Portraits + Mountain Portraits
Photography 
'The core intention of both of these series was create an in-depth and humane portrait of an unknown subject, that existed outside the traditional paradigm. Both the Service Station Portraits’ and the later‘ Mountain Portraits’ series explores how this traditional structure could be altered, though the use of covert and surveillance methods, to create a revealing portrait, in a purely documentary manner.'
