ABOUT THESE IMAGES
ONE OF THE MOST CHALLENGING THINGS FOR A PHOTOGRAPHER IS TO CREATE A SET OF DIFFERENT IMAGES
FROM A SINGLE SUBJECT WHILST AT THE SAME TIME RETAINING A COHESIVE LOOK. THIS PARTICULAR
CHALLENGE BEGAN FOR ME AT SALON PRIVÉ WHEN I FIRST TOOK A CLOSE LOOK AT THE GRILLE OF THE
BENTLEY MULSANNE. APART FROM BEING BEAUTIFULLY MADE, WHICHEVER WAY YOU LOOKED AT IT, THE SO-
CALLED MATRIX GRILLE ALWAYS LOOKED DIFFERENT. FROM ONE ANGLE IT WOULD BE THREE-DIMENSIONAL,
FROM ANOTHER, IT APPEARED COMPLETELY FLAT. GET UP CLOSE AND IT REMINDED ME OF THE WORK OF ONE
OF MY FAVOURITE ARTISTS, MC ESCHER. OVER THE NEXT MONTH I HAD FURTHER OPPORTUNITIES TO
PHOTOGRAPH THE GRILLE AND THINK ABOUT HOW BEST TO TREAT THE IMAGES. IN THE END, RATHER THAN
KEEP THEM IN SILVER, I DECIDED THAT BRITISH RACING GREEN AND YELLOW WOULD MAKE AN INTERESTING
PAIRING. TO ME, THIS TREATMENT TAKES THE BENTLEY GRILLE FROM JUST BEING A PART OF A CAR TO BEING
A PIECE OF ARTWORK. PURISTS MAY NOT LIKE WHAT I’VE DONE, BUT I’M ABOUT PUSHING BOUNDARIES, NOT
CONFORMING TO WHAT EVERYONE ELSE DOES. THESE ARE MY MOST ‘ABSTRACT’ SET OF IMAGES SO FAR, I
HOPE THEY APPEAL TO YOU.
