EDGELANDS_

For a long time I’ve been fascinated by industrial landscapes and overgrown wastelands, and I felt this was a golden opportunity to go back to something really interesting to me. I have taken various images of Deeside, but mostly through the train window with my mobile phone. I wanted to get a closer look. Inspiration has come from various sources but the main influence is Andrei Tarkovsky’s Stalker. Capturing atmosphere and mood were the priority, rather than technical precision. I aimed to capture images with a cinematic quality as well as documenting an overlooked area.
