Working the streets intuitively, Latchford’s candid photography captures seemingly insignificant points in time but her work forever freezes these fleeting memories and has turned them into something of a splendour.
Her “ONE FINE DAY” exhibition encourages the viewer to take a closer look, to slow down, relish in the moment that may seem mundane or ordinary, to harken back to a simple memory of their own that conjures up a similar sentiment. The viewer is invited to enjoy her individual subject’s unique experiences that make any day or moment “ fine” in different ways to different people.
Through her lens the viewer can almost feel an uncanny tenderness. She photographed her subjects as they lived their lives, in their homes, on the street, in the park. Her camera aimed at little pockets of life.
The result is a compelling and captivating documentation of her work.

Joan passed away in 2017 but her legacy lives on through her poignant images.
ONE FINE DAY is curated by gallery owners Chelsea Hulme-Wilyman and Cory Wilyman and is part of the Scotiabank Contact Photography Festival.
