Under attack (Single)
DESCRIPTION
This was a fairly simple concept that I hoped would show the complexities and difficulties of dealing with so-called weed species. I used a combination of milk and water to try to signify the vitriol that is so often levelled at plants whilst we seem to forget that they are so useful for the pollinators that we so desperately need.
AUTHOR
I have been doing photography since 2013. I would describe myself as a nature lover who enjoys making photographs. And it is the act of making photographs that has helped me to open my eyes and truly see. My camera is both my paint brush and my canvas, granting me the luxury of self-expression which hopefully allows those who view my images to experience the world from a different perspective.
I truly believe that beauty transcends its conventional world view and can readily be found in the unlikeliest of places...in the mundane, in chaos and even in tragedy. And that beauty in the unexpected is always there, waiting to be found. We simply need to take our time and open our eyes - to look, but more importantly, to see.
