TREE PORTRAITS
The TREE PORTRAITS project was initiated in March 2021. It seeks to celebrate the nature and character of trees, with a focus on individual trees rather than larger groups or woodlands in general. Much in the same way that a human portrait study closes in and shows the detail of a person, a TREE PORTRAIT does that with the tree. Getting in close, looking at different angles and perspectives and presenting an individualistic photograph of the tree is the aim of the project. A more artistic approach is used, to celebrate the life of the individual tree or small groups of trees.
The project involves a range of photography techniques, including standard digital, infrared, monochrome, different types of film (both 35mm and 120), plus cyanotypes. The project seeks to look at the character of trees in a photographically imaginative and creative manner.
