Welcome Beyond the Obvious: Photographs from the Scottish Highlands
|
||
|
Born in South East London during WW2, I have found over the years a greater empathy for the countryside than for the environment in which I was brought up.A late discovery of the far north of Scotland was a revelation to me. That such exquisite landscape was so easily available was magic. For many years I photographed the pre-historic and the clearance sites together with those buildings special to northern Scotland, the brochs in monochrome.Recently I have started to work in colour using the techniques honed over the years in view camera usage and exposure evaluation.I have always loved the work of Eliot Porter and began to work in a similar but, I believe, my own personal style. The view camera gives me control of the image I wish to capture and, together with its movements, I have complete control of the plane of focus. The large film format gives wonderful detail, excellent colour gradation and feeling of light that requires a contemplative approach to image making, which I believe shines through in my landscape work.Not for me the grand vista but the more intimate revelations of nature’s processes. Work in progress includes documenting the people of a Sutherland village where I have recently purchased a cottage, discovering corrugated structures and the enigma of dilapidated petrol pumps. |
