"I have a great love for still photography. Growing up on a remote Scottish island has probably fed into that with the sea, land, darkness and light. As an adult, I cannot wait to go back to Orkney but as a boy, I could not wait to leave. Using University enrolment as my excuse, I travelled to Edinburgh, New York and Budapest. On the campus I would find a dark room and here I learnt to develop the pictures of my day to day. I tried to focus and develop the smaller details of things within a macro depth of field - rather than the wide angle landscape I grew up with. Not only did the dark room provide me with the solitude to understand the process of developing pictures by patience, it had a chapel next door with an upright piano in it. Both of these rooms were rarely used at the times I would hide there. Here I looked to find a sense of melody in an oddly spiritual or ritualistic process between dark and light room. As the pictures developed so did I. The two art forms go hand in hand to me, much like engineering within music production, you aim to get the best sound of each layer early on, so you don’t have as much work to do later in the mix. I have a digital camera and find great joy in projecting new images and video onto analogue surfaces like brutalist architecture or coastline rock forms. I then reshoot that to create a new image or film. While this is a digital process, somehow the change of medium in-between reminds me of those early days of exploring the slow process of discovering" Erland
