Growth and Decay: Nature is a rich source of textures, patterns, shapes and forms. Using double exposures, I set out to produce an impressionistic, sometimes semi-abstract series of images of the natural world, recording nature’s cycle of growth, survival and eventual decay. Each image was created by combining two exposures in-camera, both images being taken at the same location, often within a few metres of each other and separated by only a few minutes in time. By merging shape and texture, detail and distance, growth and decay, I tried to make each final image convey a feeling of something greater than the sum of its parts.
