Each photograph in book was made on large-format camera with great care for uniformity of perspective and framing. Kelletts intent was to create a structure and consistency which highlighted both the differences and similarities between the architectural details of the town but also allowing the viewer to focus on the individuals without being distracted by a changing composition. Apart from personally loving the uniformity of typologies, everything around the world at the time was chaotic and unknown. Photographing this project as a typology provided some structure that I could cling on to. Pedantically obsessing over the tiny details of matching the images calmed me down, grounded me and gave me focus during a very strange time.
