Sun, Shadows and Little Trees

This new series is called "Sun, Shadows & Little Trees" and has been developed in my studio during the past year (during lockdown 2020). The work uses strong lighting and explores the use of shadows as an important part of the composition. The images have a graphic feel.

In this series, plant cuttings are delicately balanced on coloured backgrounds, making sharp sun-cast shadows. The photographs incorporate shadows as an important part of the composition.
They remind me of 'little trees'.
And with their delicate poise, I am reminded too of the concept of 'touching the earth lightly', (an ancient Aboriginal proverb). With climate change high on the agenda, this proverb inspires us to live and work in harmony with the earth, and to minimise our environmental impact.

These photographs are available as Open Edition Giclee prints in three sizes as well as greetings cards.
