Subtle composition and grainy textures, coupled with an eye that captures the beautifully mundane, creates a winning selection of shots from Canadian, Kyle Scully.

I was drawn to Scully's work initially because of the bleached out quality of his photographs; having a bit of a 'thing' for over-exposed film and under saturated tones, I like the way he plays with light to create focus in his images - the way the light hits a bare wall, or bare skin, draws the eye in carefully, without compromising the rest of the shot. His use of composition is also a clever tool - instead of overloading the frame with shapes and textures, his subject(s) are tactfully made the focal point.

Maybe it's the fact that Scully's work is made up of (seemingly) point-and-shoot everyday life captures, but I get a real sense of freedom from these images - they don't seem forced or contrived, but more a glimpse into the world he shares with his nearest and dearest.
