Bay Of Lights is a series of images that brings into reality Craig’s
ability to manipulate the landscape as a result of camera
technique.
Craig places himself in the environment and intuitively captures
what confronts him. Each location has its own idiosyncrasies
and is a synthesis of elements derived from a variety of
photographs to create Craig's vision.
“Escaping to these environments and surrendering to their
unique charm compels me to remove myself from any
preconceived ideas of the end result."
Photographer Craig Newell’s work is a fusion between two creative pursuits, the economical reality of commercial photography and the artists fascination with dreamlike imagery. Craig’s unconventinal approach to his dreamlike imagery has led to the creation of a series of photographs that question the traditional. Craig’s influences are varied from Fred Williams, J.M.W.Turner, Sidney Nolan and Arthur Boyd, the one thing they all have in common is they are painters - not photographers.
“When l can create a photo that repliactes the emotion of a painting then l know l am on the path of some thing personally satisfying."
His ablity to see and manipulte the landscape as a result of camera technique alone transends his surroundings and brings with it majestic imagery that emulates his influences.
