An investigation of photographic aesthetics.

These images are part of an ongoing series in which I use infrared photography to explore the concept of chaos within natural environments.

Photographing chaos presents a unique challenge; it resists structure, evades clarity, and often dissolves into visual noise. By working in infrared, I remove much of the surface-level distraction found in colour and conventional black and white photography. The result is a stripped-back visual language that paradoxically renders the underlying chaos more visible, more felt.

The unfamiliar tones and heightened contrasts of infrared create a surreal space in which natural disorder becomes eerily tactile, revealing patterns, tensions, and hidden structures that might otherwise remain unseen.
