Solitude
This documentary-landscape project focused on photographing the human impact in rural areas, specifically examining desire paths and eroded trails. However, as the project grew larger, I shifted my image making into a more photo essay-based direction, surrounding themes of tourism, access, conservation, industry and economic growth, specifically in areas capitalising from harsh Winter conditions. My image portfolio comprises a range of images that focus on different themes from various locations beyond the highland fault line, specifically the Grampian Range and the towns within. Using the warm winter glow as the motif throughout the collection, brings the images together with room to breathe individually. I feel directly connected to the images I made throughout, which have been driven by my passion for spending time outdoors, specifically across Scotland’s mountainous landscapes.
