An Pobel — ‘The People’

An Pobel — ‘the people’ in Cornish — is a photography project documenting the histories, identities and realities of 8 people who have grown up in Cornwall and live there as permanent residents. In a climate which tends to paint the county either as an idyllic resort or a provincial backwater, An Pobel seeks to allow Cornwall’s nuances to be displayed and discussed by its people, in their own words. In a series of portraits and interviews, these individuals show us themselves and their experiences — the beautiful, the ugly, and the bits in between.
