Some photographers go for scenic shots – mists rising from the river and that sort of thing – others concentrate on taking close up shots that highlight minutiae of nature. Kazem Hakimi ignores the scenic. He points his camera towards fleeting moments that are over in a blink of the eye.

He spends hours walking the streets of Oxford and other towns, searching for quirky scenes that tell a story which he can freeze with one quick click of the camera trigger.

He is showing photographs taken during the past year at Art Jericho, King Street, Oxford. Eye Spy is on show until the end of the month.

Most pictures were taken in Oxford, his home town, some at Heathrow airport and Tate Modern. Despite their different locations, all his photographs are observations of life as it is in the 21st century.

His Dressed to Nap has caught a young person sleeping on a set of steps, using one of his garments as a pillow. The Vintage Car captures a man relaxing in his perfectly polished car while talking on his mobile phone, and so links the old with the new. Happy Snappy observes two young women holding their mobile phones in the air as they attempt to take photographs of themselves. They are giggling so much that this picture vibrates with laughter. It’s impossible to view this work without breaking into a smile and sharing t heir youthful joy.

At the Bus Stop has been taken behind glass marked with swirling patterns painted by a graffiti artist. By viewing the three beautiful smiling black faces through the decorated glass we see them as proud African queens. It is a splendid picture, which deserves to be admired, as are all his works now on display. The photographs are printed with pigment-based ink, which means they will not fade. None have been digitally manipulated, what you see is exactly what the camera saw when the shot was taken.

You will discover Art Jericho tucked down King Street, off Walton Street. A visit to Kazem Hakimi’s exhibition certainly will not disappoint.
