Artist Statement:
I am an enthusiastic
lomographer, using Holga
cameras and a lomo lca to
photograph landscapes of
England (and beyond). Film,
whether black & white or
colour, captures detail and
interprets light in a way that
the more sophisticated digital
camera cannot. The beauty of
the Holga is that, having only
one shutter speed and
aperture, the only control the
photographer has is over the
choice of film and (most
importantly of all) framing
the subject matter. All the
photographer's efforts are
therefore focussed on the
image itself with no other
technical distractions.
My inspiration comes from the
landscape artists of the 18th
and 19th century who
documented changing rural
landscapes. So my photographs
aim to document an England
that has been changed by a
modernising world.
Man's influence on our
landscapes have been enormous
- indeed only the coast of
Britain is not man made. My
photographs hark back to a
romantic idyll of rural scenes
that once were, but always
with details of contemporary
life - be it a power line
crossing the countryside or
some idle farm machinery. ...
