Gail is a street and documentary photographer focused on capturing spontaneous moments. Her work highlights candid interactions, unique characters, and the humour found in everyday life. She also has a keen interest in travel and architecture.
The theme for this project is ‘Transition’, which is vividly illustrated at the Epsom Derby. Author and broadcaster Sir Alastair Burnet remarked, “No fantasy is more unlikely, or more probable, than the Derby, a race which is perpetual, unmatched, immortal.”
This sense of transition is evident as the racetrack transforms from an empty space to the chaos of crowds, protestors, entertainers, vendors, and punters. Dog walkers and cyclists give way to spectators dressed to the nines, filling the stands, while the layman enjoys a day out on the Hill. The races themselves seem secondary to the eating, drinking, shopping, and socialising – except, of course, for those who have placed a bet.
