I am Derek Boswell, a 23 year-old social documentary photographer from Southwestern Ontario, Canada. Presently, my work consists of seeking out and recording those most banal and unappreciated inanimate objects which surround us in our everyday lives. In spite of their ubiquity, they are nevertheless critical to shaping the world we live in. As such, I believe they deserve recognition. By treating their photography as a form of portraiture, I aim to elevate their status from unary, functional objects to those whose aesthetic qualities are worth considering as well. Essentially, it's an experiment in transforming the roadways, telephone poles, fake plastic grass, and half-built houses into objects of pleasure, rather than mere utility.
