From a series called Lost America; examining a quiet stillness in a forgotten landscape that is, in a sense: ‘on-pause’.
When I photograph a scene, I like to capture everything across the frame in complete focus to give a heightened sense of reality. Given the theme is so sedate; the detail of the capture is just as important as the subject matter and becomes a character of the image in itself. I like to keep my pictures simple, clean and graphic, which resonates from my background in design. My creative vision is to capture a calm and austere disposition in the landscape and create a scene of discernible simplicity to evoke an emotional and melancholic response from within.
