Into the green

Every now and then I get an itch to try something completely different with my camera. Sometimes it’s videos, sometimes it’s double exposures. Forests are such a mess of pattern and colour and shape that I find them really difficult to portray beautifully in images. Simplifying things by making double exposures, bringing pattern and flow, repeating elements into an otherwise chaotic scene seemed like a good way to explore this. I quite like it – it’s the start of an idea I’m going to explore more. They give me the sensation of falling into the space, a natural but slightly uncanny world of foliage, light, and shadows.
