Dreamscape Series

The world of dreaming can be an uncanny and mysterious place within our minds. In this series of panoramas I aim to replicate such a place by manipulating the landscape into a dream-like environment.

By using cross-processing, unnatural colours and high contrast are produced in the image, creating an atmospheric appearance. The images are a series of analogue photographs which have been shot in succession and digitally collaged together. This has enabled multiple perspectives to be placed together, further removing the reality of the actual location.

The final three images have most constructions such as buildings and vehicles digitally removed within the images so that the rawness of the nature and the lack of human presence allow the viewer to feel isolated and unnerved. This display of the natural environment, as well as the use of large scale in its presentation, also alludes to the concept of the sublime.
