I think of my photographs as being more akin to fairytale than documentary — photographic Magical Realism. They are a version of reality, but not as we are used to experiencing it. My photographs explore solitude and loneliness and draw on mythic and folkloric themes of being lost in dark forests, traveling to other realms, facing fears and finding psychological riches. The night landscape is a kind of wilderness in both a physical and psychological sense; physical because humans are asleep and the world is left alone until dawn breaks, psychological because the night is when we dream, when the shackles of concrete form are loosened and our imagination becomes energised and wild, freed from the confines of everyday certainty.
