About Fred Godfrey
I took my first photograph when I was around 5 years old and since then have had an obsessive need to capture a world which through conflict, politics and climate change is moving under our feet. I try to capture images that give us a chance to study moments which may never happen again.
I spent my childhood wondering why I couldn't learn as easily as others, why I was at my best working with my hands and why I always felt safe behind a camera or in a dark room. It turns out that I went through my youth with undiagnosed dyslexia and Attention Deficit Disorder.
Photography slows me down and lets me function 'normally' while at the same time feeding essential creativity.
