Who am i...
Im nobody. I looked around me one day last year and realised that we are living through a moment of history that is going to be discussed for a long time after I am no longer here.
I remember looking at photographs one day from the race riots in Middlesborough in 2024, and I remember the moment it dawned on me that if I ever wanted to document those moments I would have to put myself in risky situations to do that.
I remember looking out of the window at the world going past and deciding that I had been too scared for too long, and that it was time for me to step outside of the delicate and privileged bubble that I lived inside of.
Staring down a lens has taught me so much.
I am no one special, I am nothing at all; just someone who picked up a camera with two broken arms and took a step outside my door to learn something more about the world than I knew before.
I am just Barold... And I'm proud to share my work with you.
