ENTRY DESCRIPTION
This image was made combining photographs that I’d taken using my mobile phone and digital camera to create an ethereal, puzzling scene of sea birds flying in disarray through woodland. The mobile phone images were taken while travelling as a passenger by car down a country lane giving the effect of motion and blur and the sea bird images were taken as I sat in my garden and the birds flew randomly overhead. The final black and white image creates an atmospheric, otherworldly, gothic type scene of chaos and gloom.

AUTHOR
I am constantly striving to observe and form my own unique frame of the visual situation laid out in front of me either in colour or in black and white, studying the subject matter and exploring its potential visual connection/interpretation beyond just representing the view in front of the camera, reshaping its context.

Many of my photographic projects originate from a desire to invite the viewer to witness some of the subtle unseen details of our environment, whether it is an offbeat street scene, a conceptual observation of the natural world or a more intimate study of a person's life and how they function within it, respectively.
