Everybody dreams; when we sleep our imagination runs wild creating scenarios which can be surreal and fantastical. They can even relate to what goes on around our day to day life or induce a feeling of ‘Déjà vu’. However bizarre or ordinary they are, we tend to vividly remember parts of them or have no recollection at all.
For me photography is an outlet for my own dreams and imagination to become a visualised reality in which I can share with other people. I aim to manipulate natural spaces and transform them, questioning reality. My work is there as a reflection of my own dreams in a finer detail bringing them to life.
Being inspired and influenced heavily by the work of the American photographer Brooke Shaden whose work explores death and surrealism, I have been inspired for my series of images using every day natural scenes; turning them into dreamlike realms from my dreams.
