I've been wondering where and how to post this as I wanted it to be a bit more than a plug for an exhibition. So there's also a link to a press release, and to my website, where more of the work can be seen. People were discussing artist's statements in another thread recently so I'll include mine as well!
Having been a landscape specialist for many years I began to incorporate wildlife into my work more and more often. So for example when I did a project on the Welsh coastline it seemed churlish not include some of the wildlife I came across, especially as I'd been equally interested in wildlife for as long as I'd been into photography.
However there are some fantastic bird photographers around and I realised that I would be forever playing catch-up if I tried to re-create their style. I felt that my long background as a landscape photographer allowed me to incorporate a bird's surroundings into an image in a way that most bird photographers seem to deliberately avoid.
Hence Bird/land.
Just to make it more difficult for myself - or maybe to actually make it more interesting - I decided that all (most) of the images should be in panoramic format and be mounted and framed in sets of three (five), linked by species, location, or aesthetic considerations. In fact the combinations that worked most successfully, I think, were those that combined all three of those.
OK well here's five works for now and I'll upload a few more later. Also the other stuff I talked about!
