Here is the latest work August Star.

I’d thought I’d share a little of the process that made it. Below, are the main photographs that make up the finished work. These are all double and multiple exposure photographs taken out in the field. Usually, after a day of shooting I come home and combine and layer those photos in the camera (with Nikon cameras, it’s called Image Overlay)…then I go out and shoot the next day using those pictures as a possible start to new images. When I’m happy with what I have (usually around 300-400 images) I take all of those photos and start layering them on the computer to see what combinations I can come up with. The resulting shapes and colours are always surprising..it’s an exciting part of the process and the working images can sit on my screen for days as I play around with different combinations.

The final stage is to create a print of the image to see if it works on paper. Sometimes there’s a big difference between what you see on screen and what you hang on your wall….it doesn’t always make the transition!
