2014 moments #2

I would like to share my 10 most memorable photographs of the year over the coming days with you. These are shots that I am particularly proud of, while each evokes a sense of place and meaning from 2014.

DAISY ON BLACK

This photograph ticks many boxes. I finally invested in a macro lens in 2014, and discovered the joys of getting close small subjects, with nature and flora at the top of the list. I placed this simple flower on a black background which made its purity and vibrant colour stand out, and a Pop Art-style spin-off took shape. And it was taken in my mother’s peaceful, insular Essex garden during the summer warmth.

GALLERY WITH A VIEW

This photograph was taken on a visit to London’s Tate Modern art gallery. It is the upper floor cafe, which offers a spectacular view over the city, with the dome of St Paul’s Cathedral dominating the sight. I saw this frame as soon as I exited the lift, and wanted the figures to be in silhouette against the skyline. I like the result. It’s been another year of capturing this great city, and this is a London favourite.
