TITLE: Scale of Space

This photo series was taken over time in completely different locations ranging from, South Africa passing through Spain through to Portugal.

The body of work is tied together not only in its photographic genre or monochromatic post processing but also with a person in the form of a silhouette in each image. The person not only gives a sense of scale to each of the images but also illustrates human interaction with and in the surrounding captured in frame. The person in the image not only brings a human touch which grounds the image whilst at the same time the silhouettes contribute to surreality of the image.

Each image is processed in black and white, keeping in step with the minimalist approach focusing on basic photographic elements of subject, shape and scale. Allowing the viewer to appreciate the beauty of each structure without the distraction of colour.

I am a professional photographer working mostly in black & white. My style ranges from, fine art architecture, fine art street to moody landscapes. The simplicity of monochromatic imagery, the rich, deep and detailed blacks coupled with crisp whites and all the tones in between, for me makes mundane, marvellous. I often use long exposures & enjoy working in low light creating low-key images which I find are more emotive.
