His visual palette draws its inspirations from analogue reality, the contemporary urban surroundings in which he lives and works or the natural world that he escapes into.
“The crucial element to my work is atmosphere…. No matter how much digital application is going on, the atmosphere and feel of a picture is always the most important thing.”
Andrew’s creative process often results in capturing hundreds of images to create a complete work. Then, a meticulously developed sequence of cut, paste and rebuilding, moulding a new scene from his own vividly re-imagined viewpoint that is consistent, yet also a parallel with that of the perceived reality it represents.
The images that emerge depict starkly beautiful urban scenes, empty but for the hollowed-out shells of buildings; cities suspended in the stars, imagined urban environments and serene pastoral scenes of the British countryside, seemingly real and at the same time untruthful in their vivid beauty.
I have always loved Andrew brooks work ever since i started in photography his use of light and colour in his images makes like a fantasy world. Andrew brooks can make the most simple of objects and makes it almost magical, the sewer is transformed into an underground dream. i have used HDR in some of my images for the FMP brief i have used in in a more subtle way than Andrew brooks dose however here are some of his images using hdr.
