“As in my previous work I have intentionally multiple exposed this series of images in-camera (D800E), without alteration/layering in external software such as Photoshop. The reason why is simply because I enjoy this process—taking the creative challenge while out on the field.”
Although this is a photographer that creates double exposures on a digital camera I feel that his work is interesting and although something that I couldn’t create exactly what he has done but the use of natural work is inspiring, I think that I would like to create double exposures where I take images of nature and then expose them again to a cityscape. Although I originally thought that he worked in photoshop but apparently he creates all of his work in camera which I have researched but it seems impossible to complete this kind of challenge on a 35mm film camera. This work was created for AEPGA & Palombar French charities that work in remote parts of Africa to raise money I feel that these images work really well for this campaign offering a mix of humans and natural landscapes he completes all his work without the aid of photoshop which I find interesting all of his images also fully fill the frame and I have selected a few as an example to show what I mean. I feel that he is exploring the idea of the human race becoming one with nature, helping to preserve not destroy and as his work is based in remote parts of Africa it could also be looking at the preservation of certain species of animals that are endangered. Obviously here I am purely speculating at the thoughts of the photographer and his motives but although I won’t be flying to africa his use of human and nature is interesting enough that it does inspire me to create my own similar works.
