The child sits cross-legged, shoulders dappled with light, a look of glazed vacancy on her face like a renaissance cherub gazing in wonder at the Almighty. This child is not, I should add, my own, but a subject of photographer Sophie Harris-Taylor’s new series, Screen Time.
Screen Time comprises dozens of beautifully shot images of kids at their most composed and otherworldly, ie, while they’re watching TV. No screen is ever shown, and the focus is solely on the studied, even beatific, concentration of its square-eyed subjects.
