THE imposing rocky landscape of Snowdonia is the subject of Dot-Art’s latest exhibition.
A collection of images by Liverpool-based freelance photographer Craig Magee is going on display at the gallery next week.
The main focus of his work is architectural and landscape photography, both for personal projects and commercial clients.
Those included in the exhibition are taken from his non-commercial body of work and attempt to convey the feeling of a range of North Wales locations through use of light, colour and form.
Magee says: “I feel North Wales is like no other place when you consider the mix of landscapes that are contained in such a relatively small area.
“Snowdonia is probably my favourite place ever, the imposing rocky peaks of Ogwen valley and the copper ore blue river beds of Coed-y-Brenin.”
He takes a traditional approach to photography, shooting each image on Kodak film with a 4x5in large format camera.
This gives the work a large amount of detail and rendition of colour that he feels cannot be matched with digital.
He says: “A slower, more methodical method, as opposed to the often rushed feeling shooting digital provides with its instant results.
“While each image is a record of maybe only a few seconds of time, at most, every one is a reminder of a longer moment, the time spent looking for the shot, setting up the camera, then waiting for that decisive moment to press the shutter release.”
SNOWDONIA is at Dot-Art, Queen Avenue, from August 13 to September 28.
