Within this practice-based PhD Adam will be exploring the history of sublime landscape in visual art, from paintings through to modern digital cinematography. What do landscapes reflect and how do they influence how we feel about an image or a story? How do film-making choices and techniques effect meaning and significance of a story through the landscape?
As an all-round filmmaker (director, writer, camera, editor, colourist) Adam has honed a poetic and cinematic approach to image making. He produces consistently imaginative and arresting photography and film work that leans on mythology and folklore as much as it engages with modern culture and technology.
It is his passion for the role of landscape, nature and environment within cinematography that has lead Adam to focus both his practice and research onto landscapes cinematographic relationship to human characters, narrative and the emotional impact of a film.
This study will be reflected and explored through his practice and integrated into the academy in the form of film essays, with which he aims to stimulate both emotional and intellectual discussion.
