Description

White Knight is a deeply personal fine art photography series that explores the complexities of grief, memory, and emotional transformation. Created through a fusion of experimental photographic techniques—including ghosting, lens masking, light painting, and color flash gels—this body of work blurs the line between the visible and the intangible, between life and death.

Central to the series is the use of a Vaseline-smeared lens, evoking both the fading clarity of my father's awareness in his final months and the emotional haze of mourning. The symbolic interplay of red and blue tones represents the tension between opposing forces—presence and absence, love and loss—while carefully chosen objects embedded within each frame anchor the narrative in real, lived experience.

Each piece in the White Knight collection is a limited edition of 10, printed on Hahnemühle William Turner 310gsm, a premium, textured archival paper known for its museum-quality longevity and depth. These collectible prints are signed and numbered, offering art collectors a unique opportunity to own an emotionally resonant, visually compelling work that speaks to the universal journey of saying goodbye.

Artist Biography

William Josephs Radford (born 1998)
is a British-Spanish fine art photographer whose provocative, visually striking work challenges the boundaries of traditional photography. Raised in rural Andalucía, Spain, by British expatriate parents, Radford's multicultural upbringing has shaped his artistic vision, giving him a unique perspective on identity and belonging. His early passion for drawing led him to explore visual art, but it was photography that became his primary medium. He pursued fine art photography at the University of Gloucestershire, where he embraced an unconventional approach to art-making.Radford’s photography is deeply transgressive, often tackling controversial and thought-provoking themes with an emotional, immersive approach. His work blends intuitive creativity with technical experimentation, including his signature use of light-painting, a slow and meticulous technique where the interaction between light and subject creates a dynamic, almost sculptural effect. For Radford, the process is just as important as the final image. A self-proclaimed purist, he strongly objects to the use of Photoshop or any form of post-production manipulation. His work is known for its symbolic richness, using semiotic elements to explore the complex intersections of beauty, discomfort, and taboo. Through his work, Radford challenges viewers to question societal norms, encouraging deeper reflection on the emotional and cultural layers embedded in his images.

Artist Statement

As a fine art photographer, I explore beauty in discomfort, using bold symbols and vibrant colors to provoke thought and challenge perceptions. My work, influenced by the transgressive art movement, often features condoms, crucifixes, and cigarettes—juxtapositions that invite reflection on societal norms.
