Discreet and modest, Shafran's best images focus on quiet but telling moments of everyday life. His tender observations of his partner and son are disarmingly personal; their essential truthfulness gives them a quality that is universal. Born in London in 1964, Shafran has practised in a range of editorial and advertising genres, but has found his form in documenting his own family life.
