About Me
'Landscape Figures' is now a large, hard-backed coffee table book. This was published in 2017 after 5 years as a major exhibition project. It is available to view (& buy) on Blurb here:
http://www.blurb.co.uk/b/7799527-landscape-figures Glyn is a multi-international award-winning photographer with over 3 decades as a full time professional. He has published five books of his work, three of which sit on Royal coffee tables. He is a regular contributor to TV programs and prints of his work have sold worldwide. For Glyn the landscape has always been more important than photography itself but for over three years now he has spent much of his time on a project exploring fragility of the human form in wild landscape, but also the sensuous relationship of the human to that environment. “I found myself fascinated by the link between the stripped-bare naked form and the naturalness of the wind-formed sand – everything seemed ‘right’, understandable and connected. I started to place myself in many other landscapes whilst out and about shooting images for my gallery, and I realised that the simple exploration of nude figures within landscape was becoming a self-portrait project, but there was a growing intrigue to see if others would relate to my ideas”. Glyn started to work with amateur volunteer models who were friends and members of the general public. In most cases Glyn has hidden the models faces, as he did not want the images to become ‘portraits’ of actual people, but simply studies of figures in situ responding to location and the weather. “Although the nude is vital to the project and integral within the images, the images are not just ‘nudes’ – they are landscapes and stories. In a way they are just simple, beautiful, dreamlike visual questions”.
