Grethe enters a state of hypnagogic consciousness 

as she drowses on the branch of a fallen laurel tree.

The following day, when we had finished filming, I walked back to the location and discovered this animal spine (above) strewn across my path. On closer inspection it may be a badger spine. There were no other bones nearby. Naturally, I reflected on how it got there. Did a dog or a fox dig it up and drag it there? A very mysterious offering.

At the beginning, I made a photograph of Grethe resting on the branch of a fallen laurel tree. And now when I look again, I can see a vine climbing one of the limbs, on the right-hand side, looking quite spine-like.

While this strange and timely motif seems integral to the piece, I don't have an explanation. Other than the spirit in which we approached creating this.  A profound sense of the sacred spaces of our landscape and nature within, perhaps resonated somehow in the labyrinthian old heart of the land.

Who knows.






Digby - farewell to this ethereal boy who departed for his next great adventure a month after taking this photo.









Thanks for visiting!

Her Ensemble ft. Bishi

I had the great pleasure of photographing Her Ensemble recently. Formed by violinist Ellie Consta, they are the UK's first women and non-binary string orchestra creating stunning performances. This one featuring wonderful Bishi with lighting design by Belinda Best.
