This shoot was all about capturing the experience and spirituality of the one of the elements – light.  I was trying to create the physical and also the metaphysical in my images, the idea that there is something extraodinary that can be seen beyond the normal object.  These images link to the idea of creationsim because I believe they not only appear similar to how when light first became introduced to the world, but they also appear similer in appearmce to the consatntly changing world that is occuring but poeople don’t seem to realise as dramatically and as quickly as it is.  Similarly to the work of Alexander Mourant, I wanted to capture the atmospheric tones that try and reaweken many of society’s lost connection with the continual processes of change that our own relationship holds with this planet, something I believe science has allowed us to do.  This in itself explores the relationship of freedom and limitations because what can be seen by some, can’t be seen by others.  And for those who do see, theere is a sense of awe and wonder that I am trying to invoke and express within these images.  In order to do this, I am trying to communicate my own spiritual interaction with my faith and am trying to implement the idea of why not how change occurs in reference to science and the theory of creation.

Overall I believe my shoots were succesful despite how initially I felt it hard to gather inspiration in what to physically take, as light (which isn’t an object) is intangible.  I experimented with different sources that reflect light but eventually decided to focus on the single light source that lights up everything – the sun.  The spiritual significance associated with the sun, I felt was important to capture.  In the bible it talks of light seperating the darkness.  In today’s world, there is so many areas that I believe link the two and so therefore I tried to include light and darkness as a binary opposite in my photographs.  Areas that include the darkness is the idea that people are starting to miss seeing the light, and the ever wonders of change and freedom involved in this.  Therefore in these images I wanted to explore the notion of change, reecording it, and why I feel it is importan to recognise how as humans we can use this to reignite our relationship with the freedoms of nature.  However in this regard, I believe it is also important to consider the limitations of this in that we essentially don’t know what the causes of where we are going with thss livelihood of spiritual interaction in this world is taking us
