Instagrammer in Residence
Abigail Holsborough (February 2018)
'I’m still working my way towards a definitive style of photography. There’s always some kind of human element in the photos I take, whether that be an actual human or the spaces we exist in. I’m very interested in people and everyday moments that are overlooked.'

'Someone riding the bus or feeding the ducks by the canal can feel quite poetic to me. We normally pull out the camera for significant milestones like birthdays and weddings but life really happens in these small moments. That’s what I want to capture.'

What inspires you about the Barbican?
'I loved the Barbican Residents photo series and book by Anton Rodriguez, the residential side of the Barbican feels like a mysterious fortress at times and I’m curious to know what happens behind closed doors. It’s the only cultural landmark in London that has people living directly around (and on top of) it and that’s what I find most inspiring.'
