Grim Curbside Photography

Derek Man's Street Curb Photos Capture the Bleak Essence of the City

— August 10, 2015 — Art & Design
London-based photographer Derek Man has spent the last two years capturing the less glamorous, but no less intriguing, aspects of his city with this street curb photography series titled 'No Stopping Mon-Sat.'

Using the street curb as his backdrop, the photographer presents an aerial view of the seemingly random and surreal debris that any big city resident will become accustomed to given enough time. Everything from forgotten toilets, piles of vomit, abandoned birthday cakes to morbid portraits of various animal roadkills are put on full display to the viewer.

While this photo project may seem a bit bleak or grim, these macabre street portraits are at times almost comical in their stark display. They become a reminder of the often grim but always intriguing realities of living in an urban landscape.
Trend Themes
1. Street Curb Photography - Opportunity for photographers to capture the unconventional and intriguing elements of urban life using street curbs as backdrops.
2. Documenting Urban Realities - Opportunity to showcase the less glamorous aspects of cities and highlight the intriguing and sometimes humorous moments that go unnoticed.
3. Macabre Street Portraits - Opportunity to create visually striking and thought-provoking images by capturing the darker side of urban life through street curb photography.
Industry Implications
1. Photography - Idea for photographers to explore unconventional subjects and perspectives to create unique and engaging photographs.
2. Urban Living - Opportunity for urban development and planning industries to acknowledge and address the often overlooked aspects of city life captured in street curb photography.
3. Art and Design - Opportunity for artists and designers to incorporate the macabre and unconventional elements showcased in street curb photography into their work, creating a new wave of avant-garde and thought-provoking pieces.
