My name is Harry Mayhew, I am a 21 year old aspiring photographerand digital artist based in Newton Abbot, Devon, England. My work is on concept on creating a story within an image, making the audience of my work see their own idea of beauty and story within my images. Throughout my life, I have watched and played many fantasy, sci-fi, horror and historical genres, which has made me capture the themes within my projects, creating bodies of work that have a visual narrative.
Many of my photographic work is taken around my home town of Newton Abbot and from other areas in Devon. I have lived by the countryside and go to beaches, which I have found that the natural countryside and nature are my solitude, a place where I can relax and feel the peace. My practice is very natural, using natural lighting, capturing the right colours and exposure; aiming to make my work become a reality to the world. My work is captured in digital and in medium format film, which I hope expand on my learning with more time studying large format.
My main influences are, Sophie Gabrielle, Tom Hunter, Jade Doskow, Ansel Adams, Erik Johansson, Tim Walker, Dora Maar and Sally Mann.
