I promised to talk more about Aspects of Winter and now that I have released the final version of the image its time to do so. There’s a small copy of at the bottom of this posting, it also links to a larger version so that you can take a better look at it.
I started Aspects of Winter wanting to show the build up of colours in a snow scene, and I think going from black and white, to sepia, finally to a painting style of colour achieves that. As I was working on getting this right I released that there was something to gain by including a little unevenness. The images themselves are not clones of each other. Each is an individual photograph, and each has been cropped individually. The idea is to open up the view through the series of images and to try and capture that up and down trudge that is the hard work of walking in deep, and freshly fallen snow.
Aspects of Winter is an attempt to capture the changes in colour and movement that comes with snow.
What’s next – lets see what happens when I move this to a T-Shirt design.
