Man & Sea
entry description
Man's relationship with water has been written into the history books since records began and the reliance on this element is evident in the past and present. Personally, as a photographer I've always been drawn to water and have explored the technique of long exposure for the past few years using man made structures as singular and paired subjects. This collection of images explores the relationship between man and the waters edge which is part of a much bigger project that concentrates on climate change and what we stand to loose if sea levels continue to rise.
about the photographer
Anthony has been heavily inspired by clean design, simple landscape compositions, serene ethereal photography, symmetry and balance. So, it always made sense to him that when compiling a photographic composition, the image should be simplistic and uncluttered. “I’ve always tried to incorporate stillness, seclusion and silence in my work and these elements reflect back at the viewer, drawing your interest deeper into the soul.” He has in infatuation with water, so you will see this appearing in a lot of his photographs.
Anthony's intent is to produce photography that’s simple and easy to understand and by eliminating ‘noise’ by breaking the image into bite sized pieces. By using negative space in his photography, he intends to draw the eye into the main subject of the photograph. He loosely uses methods such as rule of thirds, leading lines, balance etc but aims to reduce the complexities of a subject to hold the viewers interest. This simplicity opens the door to self-interpretation and mood, similarly to that of abstract art and makes the photograph that little more intimate.
Anthony has exhibited his work in Dubai, Singapore, Brazil and the UK with future exhibitions planned in the USA and South America for 2018. His work has attracted the interest of the commercial world, recent clients include LG Electronics, The Park Hyatt and Orlebar Brown as well as articles in magazines such as Timeout, BnW minimalist, Practical Photography and Airgate to name a few. His work is represented globally by a selection of fine art galleries.
