Landscape Roll 6

2/12/2018

0 Comments

 
So this day I camped in the woods in Studley Green, between Stokenchurch and West Wycombe. Me and my mate love camping and I used the opportunity to photograph. The first two images of a tarp set up in amongst the ferns and trees early in the morning is compelling to me. In frame the natural wilderness; as opposed to the urban images I have taken leading up to these, touches each edge, this part of the country underneath my feet is composed of chalk and clay, opening up the possibilities for what we know as rare chalky meadows which provide habitat and nutrients for rare orchids and various species of small shrubs and trees, but also certain insects and birds occupy these areas. The Red kite was re-introduced within a couple miles of these locations, a bird seen all around, searching for wildlife. 
What really fascinates me when looking at these images, is the imprint I and my friend had visually on the landscape whilst camp was set up, within all of the wilderness there lies a sold block of grey, muted and boring, we have hidden ourselves from nature, or at least the full wrath of the weather. But that was our structure, our house for the night, it kept all of our belongings in and everything we needed to stay alive and occupied, a knife and food and a way of starting a fire for example.  
These images and moments show how simple we can live when we take ourselves out of the extreme social situations within the urban landscape.

Wedding and bookings

I am available for Weddings, Festivals, Gigs, Band shoots, individual portrait shoots, family/ group shoots, videography, dance videos.


Being a Photojournalist I have been trained to work fast and accurately and along side the journalistic approach I am also capable of being able to create a project with you. The documentary side to my practice means that I have the patients and the vision of helping create long term projects, such as books, exhibitions, public talks, documentaries etc.

It is your ideas I am interested in. For a shoot if you have an idea, a vision, it is my aim to try and get as close as possible to what is in your head and bring it into reality. That way you are happy and we are all actively creating something new and meaningful.

Interested in creating something together? Unsure about something? Or simply want to ask me something photography related then give me a message, always motivated to listen.
