    Natural Cosmic

    A new series for 2020 Photo London.
    For many years I have looked for intense, peaceful moments in landscape. This quest has led me to many corners of the British Isles. For the most part I have gravitated to woodlands, rivers and salt marsh, generally avoiding higher ground. The reason for this is not because I dislike a good view, but rather because this camera and lens has a fantastic ability to make you feel you are part of the scene you are photographing. It’s to do with perspective I think; the complicated relationships between foreground and background

    In these new pictures I have become intrigued by how far you can pursue this idea of immersion when looking at vast open spaces of simply air water and cosmic activity.

    They are all taken close to home overlooking the North Sea at moments of intensely high atmospheric pressure.

    The fleeting nature of ‘place’ in tidal landscape.

    2015

    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

    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

    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

    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'”
