The creative collection

Sometimes one photograph – a single shot – just isn’t enough. Another layer of creation is needed to bring your work to life or make a point.

This leads to the diptychs, triptychs and composites coming to life. They encapsulate the autumnal calm of Constable country, the afternoon tea cake stand or the bustle of London’s Victoria station.

But a single frame can be enough, if the results are blazing with colour and artful, like low night shots capturing the movement of a train. Here are a few happy surprises and labours of love.

  Thank you very much, James, very much appreciated. This was quite a colourful splash – a good contrast to the more muted monochromes I think we both like! Have a great weekend too.

  Thank you Julien. I hope it inspires others to create composites and other multiple frames to amplify their images.
