These trees have been sought out while looking for interesting shapes and formations that would convert well to Black and White. From the outset I would travel around areas close to my home address, of Bristol, UK, where I was able to re-visit when the conditions were such that I would be able to compile a series images that were similar in their style.
His world as we see it through the lens, captures life in a contemporary form; exposing the sensitivity and beauty nature possesses. With the intention of fabricating both stillness and movement within his shots, Hooper over the years has built a diverse body of work where his creative flare and eye for the bewildering shines through. Combining his passion for art, he also develops a variety of his photo’s into Fine Art Giclee Prints; mimicking the look of silhouettes in a highly contrasted and atmospheric fashion. Fulfilled with just his camera, an open landscape and the possibility of capturing just one great shot, Hooper thrives on the chance of seizing a single moment in time where no photo can ever be the same. Encapsulating an overall sense of calm just like Don Hooper himself!
