Wildness, Nature and me..

jasonI've had a passion for nature since early childhood, enjoyed making pictures all of my life and been a professional photographer for over 20 years. In this time I've developed an deep love of, and conection with nature and all things Earth. Although I shoot a range of subjects it's the wild places that count for me.

 

These are the places that touch my soul and set my spirit free. As I engage with nature through my lens I deepen into the essence of what is around me and do my utmost to portray this spirit of nature through my shots.

 

Wild is one of those words that conjours up different images and emotions depending on who we are and where we currently find ourselves. For me, wildness is a state of mind and is entirely natural in it's essence. A regular connection with nature feeds our mind, strengthens and clears our spirit and helps us to cope with the unnatural confinement that modern life imposes on us.


But there's much more to it than a simple need to wander the woods and meander along our riverbanks. Natural healing and holistic connections with Wild are becoming much more relevant as we rediscover the need to honour and nurture our soul and spirit just as our ancestors did, just as ancient tribes still do and just as we must if we are to find the peace and positivity we all desire and deserve.

 

Much of my work is for publishing clients, magazines, books, calendars and cards carry my images to millions of viewers. However I want to do more on a personal level. Hence Wildscape. Through Wildscape I aim to bring the experiences of nature and wildness closer, until the very spirit of it filters through, and touches every aspect of life.
