Hi, Clare here again. Since February we have been looking at different aspects of the farm and of photography. During this time the volunteers have been recording their personal responses to the farm landscape and keeping a selection of their images in a personal journal. We’ve also been starting to explore how to use text with photographs.
Trees have been a subject that has resonated with us all and sparked off lots of ideas and images about their form and role. One person saw the branches as neural pathways and another as arms entwined.
We have been blessed with some bright sunny days filled with strong contrasts of light and shade. This has been ideal for really bringing out the sculptural qualities of the trees and learning how different qualities of light affect the photographic image.
A few weeks on and bare branches are turning green.
