I am embarking on a new project with the working title of Elemental. The idea being to showcase the human form in context to extraordinary locations and bring them to life in a new way by mixing drone photography for its aerial perspective alongside traditional photography.

Whilst all of these photographs were taken here on our planet, my aim for this work is to produce an image that feels ‘otherworldly’. The more alien the landscape the better. I enjoy people asking me “Where on Earth is this?!”

The images are art nude and focus on shapes that are sympathetic to the energy of the environment. The aerial shots give the viewer a visual feast that shows the full location, but with the human figure within. Where relevant I include protraits or close ups (hands, feet) that help conect the viewer to the landscape.

I am fascinated by locations with history and enjoy writing about the past civilizations that will have shared the same location. As a photographer I’ve struggled taking photos of landscapes alone, I always favour having someone in frame to complete the image. This work is an extension of that, but with the added focus on the beauty of the human form.

Each trip is one I have carefully researched and the carried out solo. Me and a model and as needed a driver. I prepare a moodboard of locations that can be reached during the trip and arrange suitable accomodation/hotels to stay along the way to make the process as easy as possible. I make it a fun and collaborative process and enjoy writing about each trip afterward.

When I am home in my studio I print the images that stand out for me and if there is space on a wall I have them framed as well.

Please note that a number of these images have not been shared with others as I plan to currate a body of work first. Hence this page being password protected, so I ask that you keep this link to yourself.
