 Insley Smullen is a poet and photographer residing in San Francisco, California. 

Possessed of an intense interest in nature and storytelling since childhood, Insley’s work focuses on the natural world and the interactions between the humans and animals within it. Shooting primarily with a Mamiya C220 and black and white film, Insley aims to explore and thoughtfully play with the tension between natural spectrums: life and death, growth and decay, animal and man, with a focus on the vulnerability that connects us all.

My artist statement: Peace in the Chaos

Bustling streets.  Loud conversations.  Bright, flashing lights.  Blaring car horns.  Constant movement.  These may be some of the first things that come to mind when you think of New York City.  Being a part of the city’s crowd could be overwhelming for many, both locals and visitors alike.  However, by simply standing and observing the surrounding environment, the city feels different.  This is something that I find myself doing often.  I sit or stand back and watch others go about their day.  Meanwhile, mine stands still - time feels slower and things that may be overlooked begin to stand out.

Vivian Maier’s work conveys this same sentiment.  Her street photography is intimate and precise yet personal.  They showcase the ways in which major cities like New York and Chicago can slow down and just “breathe.”  Like Maier, I brought my own Mamiya C220 around the city with me while I explored new neighborhoods and revisited old ones.  During this process, I engrossed myself with the city; attempting to absorb everything around me: the beautiful views, the loud and disrupting sounds, and even the weird smells.  By doing so, I felt at peace in one of the most lively and chaotic cities in the world.
