Seeing how the scarf occasionally formed mountain-like shapes, her hands and head underneath forming ridges and valleys, I couldn't help wanting to see if I could catch something a little more artistic. With that scenic panorama behind I thought there was a chance an interesting photo might come from it. I liked the textures of the silk against sky with its mass of clouds, and by composing centrally I'm hoping the scarf becomes more dominant and stronger and consequently feels even more odd / out of place / not natural to the scene. I'm hoping that despite it being front and center it isn't immediately obvious that the 'mountain' is a silk scarf, revealing its true self only when one gives the image more than just a glance... a little reward for spending a little time with the photo. ____________________ If this image is the first of mine you have seen, or you are generally new to my work, please know I'm always keen to make new contacts and push my photography to wider horizons. If you like what you see, please do say hello! If you are able to help bring my photography to a larger audience, then lets talk! I'd be very glad to hear from you!

"Thank you for your interest. For those unfamiliar with my name (say as 'Greg') I am a widely published creative photographer operating primarily within the UK music industry in which I specialise in portraiture but also live gig imagery of touring level bands and artists from the UK and across the world. However, when I'm not busy building my career in music photography I like to explore photographic ideas that fall outside the remit of promotional band portraiture and live event shots. I take inspiration from the classic documentary and original street photographers of yesteryear, particularly those who combined the real life documentary style with a highly artistic aesthetic, and I try to apply a similar timeless feel to my own image making. I love to people-watch. I'm particularly drawn to creating images that hint at non-tangible elements of human nature such as emotions or themes like companionship, curiosity, determination, freedom, isolation, loss, contentment, moments of contemplation, and all manner of connections and interactions between people and the world around them. I live in a seaside town in the South of England, a location well suited for coast, country and city life. I visit London often, and occasionally have opportunities to travel further, even abroad from time to time. So, although I sometimes make images of a more exotic nature, my photography comes usually from the more ordinary surroundings of my daily life. As a consequence, you're unlikely to see many photos of war zones or long lost jungle tribes here. I'd like to hope, though, that my images are therefore more relatable to a wider public, perhaps finding emotional connections on a personal level... to hopefully find a place in your print collection? I'm always looking to make new contacts... if you like what I do say hi!"
