Photographer
Aaron Yeandle predominantly works on long-term historical and social projects. His photographic practice explores the mundane and the everyday. Aaron’s photographs observe and reflect on communities and places that are often glimpsed but scarcely pondered upon. Over the last few years, Aaron has exhibited nationally and internationally with solo and group exhibitions and has completed four Artist-in-Residencies.
He has been working on numerous large-scale projects. In particular, he has been photographing the unseen world of Guernsey’s communities, delving into social and historical aspects of Guernsey and the heritage of the island. Aaron is interested in how realism, romanticism and the imagination can be juxtaposed to create a playful yet ominous narrative, which tells a compelling visual story. Aaron is a member of the MAP6 Collective, which is a contemporary and forward-thinking photographic collective of visual artists.
During the lockdown, Aaron created a conceptual body of work about COVID- 19, which has been well received. Parts of this project have been exhibited with the New Zealand photography festival in conjunction with Format. Also, in Italy with Creative in Quarantine, the Brighton Photo Fringe, The Southwest Collective, Mass Isolation Finland and as well as being featured with organisations in the US, Australia and Europe.
Aaron has recently exhibited a large-scale social and historical interactive exhibition. The Voice-Vouaie exhibition was three years in the making and included 200 photographs, a film and an audio listening station where you were able to listen to recorded interviews of the Guernésiais speakers.
