“Storytelling was always the undercurrent of conversation around the dinner table,” Miro Lovejoy Teplitzky tells me about his childhood in Sydney with two film directors as parents. “Creativity was the natural way of approaching things; one thing they have always imparted to me is finding meaning in your endeavours.”

The London-based photographer has taken this advice to heart, grounding his work in a psychological and emotional realm in an attempt to engage the viewer through curiosity and sensation.

“I’m completely obsessed with stories that disguise themselves as one thing but become something else along the way,” Teplitzky explains when I ask him what drives his practice. “I think of images as a way to delve into issues we might be dealing with, whether that’s a significant moment in life or just how we feel daily. My dad made a film about our family when I was 16, which was very emotionally intense. That experience made me realise – this is the point – you do this work to understand more about life.”
