Modelling the Seasons
I have always been intrigued by the changes that seasons bring to the world around us but capturing that in model form has proved tricky for me. Winter has always been fun but I had a disastrous encounter with autumn last year. It took many attempts and I was still not happy with it. One issue is that photographers like to pump up the colours and the UK is more a season of browns and yellows than strident reds. I was determinedto get the autumn colouring right this time!
