To many of us, the idea of photographing
common vegetables might seem a rather trivial exercise. It is only
when we actually see the images that we begin to realise the complexity
and beauty inherent in such everyday objects. Alex continues to
explore the naturally occurring patterns of the surface and sometimes to
interior of vegetables, fruit and other plants, bringing a new approach to
still life photography.
He believes that this
challenge to our ignorance of objects we see everyday is the purpose
of photography; that is to help us see the world in a different way and to
enhance our enjoyment of our visual senses.
