What I Stand For Is What I Stand On

What I Stand For is What I Stand On is an exploration of sacred land and an attempt to exult it. The Christian faith prompts a considered stewardship of the landscape, by documenting land, this project aims to reveal beauty and invoke awe to yield fruitful reverence of the landscape one finds themselves surrounded by. This value is not found separately to humans’involvement but amongst their shared existence, this project will not try to capture an idealised falsehood of a creature less planet but exists to be an honest documentation of the world we find ourselves in. When photography is motivated by The Creator it ceases to be purely light and shadow on a sensor or film but evidence of a divine order that allows beauty and meaning to be made manifest in print. If God is the precondition for all things, then the land is not just a collection of dirt, rocks, and plants. It is a physical expression of His creativity and His nature. These lands are sacred because they participate in the goodness of God, and my role as a photographer is to bear witness to that truth; that the heavens and earth declare the glory of God.
