'Tree' Series

To achieve these photographs, large cranes are used to hold the white canvas up behind the trees, and then minimal digital retouching is applied to remove any visible cables. 

I think they are incredible and really inspiring for the gardens project. By removing the tree from its background you are really able to look at its form and appreciate how individual each one is. This could be put to really good effect in the Japanese garden, where specimen trees such as cloud trees and Acers are already used for their shapes and architectural qualities. Also, within the woodland garden, it could be interesting to highlight one tree out of the 'woods' to make you actually look at it as a single thing, rather than just a mass of leaves and bark....
