“Juliet’s Postcard” by Photographer Brian Van Lau

A number of photographs from “Juliet’s Postcard,” the latest collection by photographer Brian Van Lau (beforehand featured right here). At the moment based mostly in Seattle, Washington, Lau is a contract photographer, typically on the street. His work is about “looking for fictitious proof,” and he was not too long ago chosen as a winner of the Urbanautica Institute Awards 2021. In describing “Juliet’s Postcard,” he says:

“For the previous couple summers, I’ve been touring throughout the nation searching for ‘Juliet,’ an individual partially the inspiration for a love letter, and partially the phantasmal stays present in a stranger’s gaze and writings etched in partitions, bushes, landmarks, and midwestern caves. These peripatetic wanderings and encounters serving as clues, fragmented proof of the individual fabled in texts and postcards. I started to consider each interplay as a possible “star-crossed” encounter, a fated if not passing cross of hope, reflection, and recognition.”
