Artist statement: I’m intrigued with the truth of an image being interpreted by the camera. Obviously focus, composition and exposure feature but tonal response is paramount. What we perceive with our eye is only a particular set of light frequencies, rendered to a particular colour spectrum, which we falsely assume to be correct.
The photographic process, has long been able to render different invisible wavelengths to a simulated colour, often red. In a forest it is the chlorophyll in the green leaves that reflects a lot of infrared light that can be sensed by a suitably sensitive camera chip and rendered red.
This aerial image is a work that is as much about photography as it is about content.

Also known as Giclee prints or bubble-jet prints, pigment ink-jet prints are generated by computer printers from digital or scanned files using dye-based or pigment-based inks. A series of nozzles spray tiny droplets of ink onto the paper surface in a precise pattern that corresponds to the digital image file. In dye-based prints the ink soaks into the paper, whereas in pigment-based prints the ink rests and dries on top of the paper surface.
Whilst the term is broad, pigment ink-jet prints have come to be associated with prints produced on fine art papers. They are the most versatile and archival method of printing available to photographers today. A wide variety of material on which an image can be printed with such inks are available, including various textures and finishes such as matte photo paper, watercolour paper, cotton canvas or pre-coated canvas.
