Photograpy by Diana Hagues

As a documentary photographer, I am interested in the relationship of people and their everyday lives within their home. From the rooms they inhabit to objects they accumulated and worshipped, and the interactions that goes on between different subjects, I use photography to tell stories of everyday life in its most intimate and candid form.
I capture the quiet details, scenes and feelings that connects us to the subjects within the image and preserve a moment in time for them. In doing so, we can remember who they were, the things they loved as well as find belonging to the lives that have gone by.
My dad lived and worked abroad in Hong Kong for ten years, returning to England after I had graduated from university and had moved out of home.
This photo is part of a body of work that I am making on my dad's life as a way to learn more about him, while reconciling the complicated relationship and disparity in the cultural differences I grew up with.
