 I have always been intrigued by the bluring effects that can happen in photography during long exposures with movement. I thought this approach was particularly suitable to explore impermanence as a principle of harmony. These photographs were all made in Jubilee woods, just outside Loughborough.
A long exposure adds a more obvious time element to the photograph, the image represents a duration, it is no longer a momentary instant. Impermanence is implied by the way forms and colours streak and blend over this duration, dissolving into each other, eventually going translucent and then transparent. Individual trees blend to become part of a whole over long exposure with movement, details blurr, boundaries melt away. The resulting images have an obvious visual harmony.
These images have not been digitally manipulated. They are faithful reproductions of the original transparencies. They were all made using Fujichrome Velvia 50.
