  From the press release.
  
  He explores the eastern lowlands of the British Isles, an area which holds deep traces of the old as well as the new, the ancient and future and the world that lies in between. Each image hints at these dichotomies. In Plate I. Cathedral (2015) the thick pillars, archways, vaulted ceilings, with the stained glass held by them, make up the nave of this venerable space. Through removing many of the characteristics associated with images of its everyday functionality, this empty space becomes one of universal contemplation where future possibilities can be glimpsed and grasped.

  Hey Charlie
  
  2013
  
  Hey Charlie is a celebration of fifty years of Cory Wright’s involvement with a particular bend in a river and the field beside it. These joyful images are the culmination of a lifetime of experience of the place in which he grew up and to which he has stayed connected throughout his life.
  
  As reflected in the title. Cory Wright calls his brother’s name – a child’s shout, an adult’s beckoning – to coax him into causing a stir in a place they know so well. They are allowed once again to be little gods. They create interruptions in the otherwise placid landscape; set off rockets into an evening sky; peer inquisitively into a haze of smoke creeping around a river bend. These striking and transient impulses, and the photographs in which they are captured, were intended to shake off the burden of the past and of nostalgia, and to provoke the making of new memories; to re-imagine, reshape and reawaken a much-loved place.

  Journey Through the British Isles
  
  A six month circular tour through the landscape of the British Isles. Starting off at the spring equinox in Shetland, down through the borders into Northumberland, Yorkshire then out west to Cornwall. The journey started off as document to list the variety of sights we see in the British landscape, but soon became a personal of quest to find its very heart. Southern England through a hot midsummer before back north west to the black granite of Skye and all its sense of place and prospect.

  Place in Mind
  
  2011
  
  “This camera reveals a strong sense of place. I am intrigued by its ability to drink in and reveal such detail. In this series I want to use this almost tangible, realistic quality of the photograph to explore notions of the imagination, the ethereal and the unspecific. What are the places we think and dream of? What are the landscapes of our mind? I chose to photograph places therefore that I had a strong perception of even before I had been there.
  
  This is therefore less about specificity, time and place… more about breadth, emotion, preconception… and having a ‘place in mind'”

Wow… very tidy big place

This is the People’s Square in Shanghai. Immaculate it is.
The darkness and the light

This is my local church, St Marys at dawn. Just the tick of the clock.
The sliver of land at high tide

I am right into places that become something only at certain times. Like here really. The tide comes in and makes this bit of marsh a new thing.. somehow more independent than it was an hour before.
Place Pin Sharp

Mercy will you look at this island. I have seen a few but rarely anything that seems to have such a sense of prospect from the air, such a sense geological jewellery as this. Those cliffs, that little collection of mans work with walls like lain silver thread and such a even plain of grass….
Crabbe Hall Garden

This was… and is no longer home. A part of us still lingers in that place, and perhaps less creepily we all wish that an essence of it were in our new garden, which, as you might imagine, is less. view series
Temperley for Bazaar

These guys were great. It was part of a series of 3 new pictures for new June issue Bazaar. Alice Temperley and her gang, Michael and Emily Eavis and Charles Hazelwood at Glastonbury Abbey. What’s interesting is that I covered each shoot on digital and 10 x8 inch negative… 3 sheets of film on each….
Engagement

Last night there was talk about experience and place, interaction and belonging; the idea that what we do in a place begins to shape it… or at least our perception thereof. This picture from the hard drive I remember well; my son Joe making that stretch of Essex North Sea …all his.
Neg no.1632

Boy… so close to ordering this one up from Grieger as a 2 metre print. Get the magnifier on it and it’s all swoops, dips and dives. Seems to work well with James Brown particularly. Nature got the funk
Somehow Within

Maybe its just the photographic process but sometimes what is not really a place, becomes a place as you take the picture. Here we are after all… amongst it all.
On a level with Nelson

How much better a view is this of Nelson and Trafalgar square than what you get from ground level. I took it from the top of Admiralty Arch which looks nicely down The Mall too, but it’s this view that makes you get the point of what Nelson’s Column was trying to achieve.
