A coastal landscape by Mike Shepherd, mounted & with a metallic-effect frame. Mike Shepherd's beautiful photography aims to achieve a clear description of natural design & elemental simplicity in the landscape. Through his floral designs, he explores inner light, essence & ideal form. His images are simultaneously realistic & impressionistic. He was born in London in 1964 & took up photography on his 16th birthday. A Lancaster University graduate, he left with first-class honours in Eastern art & architecture, going on to teach photography, digital imaging & digital art at the same university. After this, he embarked on his now full-time career as a landscape photographer, where he is strongly influenced by the American landscape monochrome tradition.
