The Dreamiest of Hoops

"The Dreamiest of Hoops" is a collection of photographs documenting basketball hoops by me, Albie Clark.

Each hoop was chosen for being quotidian or entirely ordinary; the vast majority of images were shot on the same camera with a 50mm lens and using available light. All of the images in this volume were shot in Scotland. There are few people in these images, emphasising the sense of otherness I aim to portray. This is further reflected in the choice of paper, an uncoated recycled stock lending the images a hazy, washed-out aesthetic.

Running through every image in this book is an appreciation that hunting "The Dreamiest of Hoops" is in itself a quixotic pursuit. It can - and perhaps should - never be found.

£2 from each copy sold will be donated to The Ben Raemers Foundation, an organisation supporting mental health awareness. More info at thebenraemersfoundation.com
