Botanical Photography Featured in Aesthetica Magazine
My botanical work is the subject of a twelve-page feature in the current edition of Aesthetica magazine.
This body of work isn't concerned with documenting plants exactly as they appear to us. I'm more interested in how they experience light: how they absorb it, transfer energy, adapt to their surroundings, and constantly evolve. I'm imagining a version of nature unlimited by our own field of vision, dense and luminous, closer to stepping onto another planet than a walk through familiar undergrowth.
The colour work starts from the original photograph. I enhance and distort the existing tonal relationships until familiar foliage starts to feel unfamiliar, glowing orange, pink, purple, red, as if lit from somewhere else entirely.
It is great to see these works in print and being given the space they need across this feature. The magazine is beautifully curated and I am so happy to see my work featured.
