The idea came when exploring the idea to why i was photographing trees. The idea was that trees are primal symbols of life and represent an ancient life cycle. With this in mind i decided to present my work using older techniques - the oldest I am able to realistically do in photography.
Below are some inspirational landscape photographers that I have been flicking through recently to gain ideas. Some I like the process in which they take their photos, like Richard Learoyd who uses a huge camera obscura and laborious printing methods. Other have a great concept like Tim Goldener and Tim Hixon. I tried to limit my research to black and white in nature as that is the concrete medium and subject behind my concept, but I inevitably am inspired by a variety of photographers mediums and subjects.
