Arrival (Series)
DESCRIPTION
My photographic practice is inspired by a personal fascination with sci-fi & supernatural movies. I am captivated by the speculative realism within them, which is the believability and likelihood that these events could happen. Humans have always paired aliens & supernatural events with geographical locations and monuments; I have taken liberty in recreating these occurrences around singular structures of architecture. This project required me to understand the technical aspects and techniques needed to create a convincing sci-fi landscape.
The images created for this project apply techniques of long exposure and light painting along with being a skilled drone pilot. I chose to use popular landmarks from around the United Kingdom as my singular structures which required a large amount of travelling across the country. The work of the cinematographers Greig Fraser & Roger Deakins inspires the cinematic aesthetic within my work via films such as Star Wars Rogue One, The Batman & Blade Runner 2049.
AUTHOR
I am a highly qualified, award winning and published photographer & videographer with experience in differing types of photography including location based light painting photography, studio based cinematic portrait photography, landscape photography, wedding photography and advertisement photography.
In addition to my qualifications in photography I am also a licenced drone pilot; this has allowed me to bring a new dimension to shoots I work upon in both photography & videography.
Within my commitment to the art of photography I am always aiming to push myself further and to this end I am a highly dedicated individual who always strives to attain the highest possible standards for all works I undertake both during and after shoots. I always aim to provide the best possible service when attending a shoot and to ensure the best product possible after editing is complete.
