ur trust in the truth of photography, once a given, has finally escaped us with the arrival of AI. In my ‘Sandscapes’ photographs I  aim to record natural wonders exactly as they are, abstracting tiny parts of the landscape to give them new stature as sometimes surreal landscapes in their own right. I remove only elements which would otherwise destroy the illusion of perspective, like shells or seaweed.  

I discovered the first ‘Sandscape’ images  by accident,  after photographing sunlight in the water on the beach late one evening,  When editing the photos, small unexpected  landscapes and vistas magically appeared.  I now walk on beaches before dawn at low tide, hunting for small sand formations  to photograph with a rising sun.
