The ...scapes
series is from my own personal work. To photograph our coastal scapes
is what I have a passion for. The colours, textures and the movement are
awe inspiring and forever changing. Many people ask me if I use filters
or digitally manipulate the photographs to gain such brillant colours.
My answer to this is, nature does it best. I have witnessed many spectacular
light shows over the years and never cease to be amazed. I hope that when
people see my photographs they are taken to that same place in time. I
want them look out across the sea, dunes, sand or sky and have that sense
of freedom and beauty that only an untouched wilderness can offer. |
