I have been photographing trees for a long time. Capturing within a single image my experience of being in a wood or forest, the sense of enfoldment, has oftentimes proved elusive: branches overhead veiling light, sky and the outer world; the random disposition of trees with trunks of diverse textures of bark; the ground beneath collecting everything that trees shed – leaves, seed pods, twigs and branches dislodged by wind, and ultimately whole trees fallen at the end of life. After much experimentation, I feel I have now arrived at one way to convey my own experience of trees.
