"My photography is inspired by the landscape. I attempt to create pictures which draw from the atmosphere of the environment around me. Rather than just taking a photograph of a location, I hope to give the viewer a sense of what’s beneath the surface of the land. It is my aim to convey what it feels like to be there in the moment surrounded by the elements. For this reason I am often drawn to the wild moors, mountains and dramatic coastlines of Northern Britain."
Equipment...
"I have a few favourite cameras which never leave my side when I am out shooting. I have a trusted old Hasselblad 500cm which has been a faithful companion for many years, as well as a host of folding and twin lens reflex cameras many of which date back to the 1920's. All of them have their own characteristics which I feel add something to the final image. I produce all my work using traditional hand printing techniques because of the control they give me, and the unique quality of the final piece they produce."
I find that black and white photos are really good at exploiting the baroness of places, I love the composistion of the photos also giving me the feeling of the vastness of the open spaces.The images can be found in books and on his website, The photoghrapher is influenced by the county around him.
The images have been manipulated to create borders and turned into Black and White.
