Piece description from the artist
This black and white photograph aims to capture the timeless essence of a pier reaching into the sea, stripped of the distraction of color to focus on the interplay of light, shadow, and texture. The contrasting elements are stark, with the dark, dramatic clouds overhead and the textured wooden planks leading the eye straight to the buildings at the pier's end. It's a study in composition and balance, where the man-made structure juxtaposes the wildness of the sea and sky. The choice to present the scene in monochrome enhances the mood, creating a sense of nostalgia and a connection to the past, as if the pier is a bridge between the present and a bygone era.
Phil started his career in high end computer graphics and animation which is where is extreme attention to detail came from. He specializes in creating enormous photographic landscapes using a gigapixel camera imaging system. This results in an image that suffers no lens distortion and can be printed at extremely large sizes with no loss in detail or clarity. His customers have said it is like looking out of a window.
