This series of images explores the way we view and imagine nature. Often traditional landscape photography depicts ethereal and tranquil scenes of absolute perfection. I wanted to construct imaginary landscapes that are overdone, overloaded and overwhelmed. Through combining various natural aspects that contrast each other, I aim to create a scene that still remains harmonious.
I have chosen to work with natural landscapes from my personal archive, primarily focusing on those I have previously rejected because of technical imperfections. These have been digitally merged together and reworked, exaggerating the defining elements of each original image. The images together create an idyllic artificial realm that is inspired by nature, whilst having an almost impossible existence.
