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 Lamb (b.1976) in the UK, he completed a BA (hons) in Art History and Furniture and Product Design. Anthony has over 40 international photography awards and 17 years experience as a photographer, he is based in the UK and UAE. Anthony incorporates a minimalistic approach within his photography and this simplicity shifts our perspective so the imagery is less about actual place and more about emotional state. In his photographs he uses negative space and an ethereal aesthetic to provide the viewer with a sense of serenity and calm, sharing the emotions of the moments he captures. His post-production style offers pastel expressionism to further sooth the soul offering the viewer the opportunity of escape into the purest essence of solitude. Anthony is drawn to water and open space, so you will see this narrative in many of his photographs. “My wish is to offer different frames of reference that transport you to a place that is suspended between reality and surrealism"back to gallery
