Tom Bradley’s Surreal Portraiture Explores His Relationship with Dhaka

My name is Tom Bradley. I was brought up in London, where I'm generally based, but I spend much of the time abroad. I've been pretty lucky these last 8 or so years and traveled quite extensively across west and Central Africa, Southeast Asia, and one or two other places in the world.

I suppose most of my work would be referred to as documentary, but as in the case of this particular work here (which I wouldn't describe as documentary at all), I go wherever I'm drawn. The common (and very general) theme is that I tend to photograph life around me without setting things up or posing people. I've done projects on Syrian refugees, prisoners in Armenia, stone miners in Bangladesh, a small LGBT community in Bangladesh, and perhaps most extensively leprosy. .
