‘Blanc Subterfuge’ series
This landscape series emblematically depicts a future interpretation
of the effects of global warming and environmental damage. The
series is an exaggerated impression of what normal life, though my
eyes could be after many years of earth, degeneration and
disrespect. This body of work encapsulates the stark contrast of
our current way of living and common ideologies’ of what could, for
future generations be a reality. This project gave me the
opportunity to photograph areas of space to portray a barren waste-
scape with the use of blinding light.
For this body of work colour photography was too distracting so I
chose to use black and white tones to give the stark, high key visual
aesthetics to highlight the sparse and empty feeling of despair. The
minimalistic style and space captured within this series symbolizes
the emptiness in commercial greed which foreshadows on a whole,
globally, the need for decisive action to what we have done before
it can no longer be undone. The remaining focal subjects provide
strength to what needs to be addressed, of which the general
populism are striving to do.
Like most photographers Aaron loves travelling abroad to explore new landscapes and cityscapes offering something different from Australia, but finds his most satisfying work in capturing imagery at home, Australia. �His photos could be taken down the road from where you live, on a streetscape you walk past every day, or an unknown location in Australia. He is passionate about architecture, art and nature and he continues to pursue an exciting mix of commercial and personal work.
