I’ve been experimenting with landscape, particularly that almost devoid of colour. People have mentioned there is a echo of Gerhard Richter’s work in these photographs, so I’ve been doing a bit of research. I must say I’m flattered by any similarity!

I had a weekend away with some friends on the Somerset Levels last weekend. The bleak landscape had a real impact on the photographs I took, infusing them with a real sense of gloom almost in the style of Don McCullin who lives in the area. This one however is lighter in mood and more the direction I’d like to take my landscape work.
