ENTRY DESCRIPTION
I'd wandered this area many times before and never managed to notice the potential of this location. It was a cloudy day, which makes you look at the landscape differently and I noticed a small island at the end of the lake. Only from this angle, does the island seem circular, when in fact it's almost sausage shaped! This photograph is inspired by abstract expressionism, using tone, line and shape to paint the picture.

AUTHOR
I've always liked clean design, minimal modern art, simple compositions in landscape paintings, symmetry and balance. It always made sense to me that when composing a photograph, the image should be simplistic and uncluttered. This minimal style reflects a calm sense of mood which is my overall intention. I've always been more interested in shooting less recognisable locations as it adds more intrigue to the photograph, I'm also drawn to water, so you will see this appearing in much of my work. Beaches, lakes, oceans; they all hold photographic opportunities due to the changing reflective light, the movement and mood that water can produce with long exposures and the right conditions. I’ve visited places across the world such as Australia, USA, South Africa, UK, France, India, Italy, Greece, Jordan and Dubai where I currently reside. Each of these locations has influenced the evolution of my photographic style.
