Themes:
Form of the land (to take naturally occurring patterns and textures and present them in an interesting and unusual way)
Light and tone (using natural lighting he produced images that emphasised shape, texture and form)
Beauty of nature (looking at the world in a new way to make things appear strange)
Time in the environment/movement (using shutter speeds to capture time)
Nude (photographs of the body, often he photographs the male body- working against stereotypical photographs-the male gaze on a female body)
