Frankie McAllister - Subjective View

Extended to 27th November

"The experience of landscape is never a neutral or objective thing, and a photograph cannot really be a completely accurate record, it is always a reflection of what the photographer receives and perceives in a given moment. My intention therefore is not to record how a landscape is, but to capture how it feels."
