Boyd’s work brings attention to the element of time in holographic images.  He creates holograms from sequences of photographic footage that capture action within the hologram.  Boyd photographs every-day events with a ‘hand-held’ vernacular style placing the viewer as bystander within the scene.  His work with pulse laser hologram recording takes a very different approach. Here the narrative is told through objects, often worn by the subject in meticulously constructed fictitious scenes.
