Glen Affric, nestled in the West Highlands of Scotland, is a protected nature reserve of 35,000 acres, of which 30% is forested. It is home to one of Scotland's most beautiful Glens.
Such a large area of woodland can appear confusing and chaotic. By omitting the sky from my images, I wanted to evoke a sense of envelopment and calm whilst crafting images that reveal the varied and intricate nature of the trees within these ancient woods. The branches often take on human qualities, their shapes echoing human gestures and postures.
My intent in this panel is to produce images that demonstrate seasonal shifts in Glen Affric - from the warm tones of autumn to the frosty stillness of winter and the subdued greens of early spring - capturing the landscape's quiet, changing palette.
