Topophilia is a collection of digital photographs created using intentional camera movement and multiple exposure techniques. This body of work explores our relationship with and existence in place, how we interact with what is around us, how we remember where we have been and engage with where we are going.

My photography has been inspired by travel and place attachment. Featuring places I am emotionally attached to and continue to revisit, my work explores memory, repetition and how time can influence our connection with place.

The use of intentional camera movement and multiple exposures express an abstract representation of memory and my presence in the captured locations, with layers expressive of new journeys and deeper connections. Our moment in places can be fleeting and these images also present awareness of our fast, blurred, subjective movement within the grand scheme of time.

Overall, this work invites the viewer to reflect on their presence in the world around us and what place means to them.
