NATURE OF PLACE

“I have often photographed when I am not in tune with nature but the photographs look as if I had been. So I conclude that something in nature says, ‘Come and take my photograph.’ So I do, regardless of how I feel.” – Minor White

The series has a loose construct that allows exploration of a lifelong fascination for the land, especially woodlands and such like. It seeks to epitomise everything about a location in a single image; it’s nature, character and a sense of experiencing being there at that moment.

This is a foundational piece from which other series and avenues of enquiry of a subject or story can be explored. Case in point is creation of the series The Floods, spawned from a single image and climatic event.

A small selection of images from the extensive series are presented here.
