My name is Charlotte Mitchell. My photography focuses on architecture, landscapes and nature, with the odd music photograph. I prefer to work with what is around me, rather than staging something. I prefer to explore the surroundings and capture something as it is found and as others see it. I use natural lighting to capture the essence of the image. My final project during my third year at university links to this and explored how nature has changed and adapted throughout each season. It explores our human interaction with the natural surroundings and how we have influenced how the land has changed. For me, my personal interaction with the natural setting links to my mental health and my physical wellbeing; it was my way of escaping from reality and allowing my mind to think elsewhere.
