Congratulations to Greg Briggs for having his Melbourne Cleaning photographic series star in Feature Shoot website.
Greg states about the series, "The idea behind this series was to explore the intimate relationship cleaners have with the spaces they inhabit. It was also my way of paying respect to the job cleaners do and the places they do it in. Cleaners are such an integral part of our society and yet they are some of the lowest paid. I wanted to show their occupation in a positive and respectful way, to bring out the beauty in it. The idea was simple but the execution was more of a challenge than I initially thought!"
"The challenge is always in getting people on board the idea and to participate. There were so many great spaces that I wished to photograph but my request got caught up in administration and red tape. The magic happened when people understood the simplicity and legibility of the idea behind the series and did not over-complicate it. The process taught me a great deal about having a clear mission statement and intent for a project before communicating with the people you want to be involved."
