The visual allure of trees is irresistible, to me at least – I simply cannot resist the urge to photograph them. It’s not just the trees themselves, though. During my travels, I typically find myself in urban and semi-industrial places, and it’s in these sorts of areas that I’m intrigued by the way trees have been integrated with the environment. Humanity’s relationship with nature is a theme that underpins much of my work, as I’ve mentioned before in this column.
