About
‘Phil’s photography is predicated on his hunger for experience, for travel, for engagement. He seeks constantly to explore and to discover. Phil has no idle relationship with the world, his is a profound and very real connection with us and with our lives. He would travel, seek out new places, enquire and learn without photography, but in photography Phil has found a perfect means to channel his curiosity. Photography is for Phil, like an astronomers lens, or a scientists microscope is used to intensify his focus on place. Often when you observe a casual photographer you notice they are neither in ’the moment’ or ‘making photographs’ the camera has become a barrier to experience and a blunt instrument for expression. With Phil you notice something else, his excitement at observation and discovery is manifest in the energetic deployment of his camera, his lens is his witness, and he sees so much…In this collection of images we see a focused and determined idea about our world, formed by experience, seen in photographs…’
