Bank of England

One of the functions of the Bank of England is to print banknotes. The British Pound Sterling notes have different features that make them unique. The photography of the notes has been introduced as a part of a wider visual identity project, however, banknotes can be reproduced only following strict regulations. The photos, taken with a macro lens, depict security features, characters, and the beauty of their design. The images have been grouped into 3 categories: groups of notes, details, and abstract.

Sacred trees II

Sacred Trees II is a series of light painting photographs of ancient trees. Each image was taken after sunset or under moonlight, with exposures of five to twenty minutes. During each exposure the trees were painted with several flashlights fitted with colour gels. The finished works are presented as prints measuring 24 by 30 inches, with colours and forms arranged carefully within each frame. The series reflects an old Japanese belief that trees, rocks and water are resting places of gods, and it seeks to show the spiritual presence of nature.

It is invisible, but you can feel it, it is both static and dynamic, it is frozen in the moment of rebirth. The work uses photography to express the concept of nirvana nirvana, using the transition between ice and water, together with unreal colors to express the concept of nirvana. Visually, the abstract concept is expressed in the style of Chinese ink painting, which brings people's thoughts into the world of nirvana through the unknown, unreal and moving visual images.

Glitters

Glitters is a photography series that studies the surface of sequin fabric. The series treats an ordinary functional material as a medium for abstract painting. Human contact changes the sequins in an irreversible way, and each mark is recorded by the camera. The images move from macro to micro views to explore material, texture, color and light. Chance, lighting and intuition guide the experimental approach. The photographs were taken with a digital camera and processed with digital software. Prints are made in a limited edition on fine art paper and plexiglass in four sizes.

Mother Earth

Mother Earth is a studio portrait photograph that presents the planet in human form as a woman in poor health. The makeup uses green, blue and brown tones to represent oceans, plants and soil. Dying flower petals are placed on the head of the model to suggest illness. The expression of the model conveys sadness and vulnerability. The lighting was created with one large octabox on the model and one light on the backdrop. The final image was refined with digital editing software. The photograph links pollution to human emotion and draws attention to climate change.
