Puglia #04 Photograph

For Stefan Merriweather, there is equal merit in both spontaneity and preparation. His work is a study in the value of constantly being on the lookout for moments that are meant to be captured — always prepared for the spontaneous shot. And yet, as he himself will admit, Stefan’s best work seems to come through in a stage when he is least prepared for it. This isn’t all that difficult to believe, considering the sense of micro-fascination that comes with each of his shots. Beyond zooming in on physical qualities, Stefan’s fine art photography comes down to small visual pockets of time and space, taking viewers into an isolated interpretation of texture, colour, and intrigue.
