Timelapse
Timelapse across landscape, night skies and the built environment.
Most of the work starts before it's light, and most of it is waiting. A timelapse is the record of a decision to stay; to be on a hillside, or a rooftop, or a beach in winter, long enough for the place to do something the eye alone can't see. The frames are made of patience and weather as much as anything else.

Timelapse can be useful in different ways. All require planning, but nothing is off limits. A landscape can shift through a season; a building rises from nothing; a manufacturing line can become a living being; or the galaxy can put on a show. Each is a story that's too slow for the eye to read in real time, but compress that time into seconds and suddenly a new world of possibilities is opened up to you.

Every shoot is planned to the hour, often to the minute. Sun path, moon phase, tide times, weather windows, traffic, light pollution, power, azimuth and declination. Most of it is decided before the camera leaves the bag. The image at the top of a timelapse is but a single frame; underneath it is a list of decisions that took years to master so that exposure across hours of changing light produces something not only useable, but captivating.

The work isn't always pleasant. Several hours in bad weather is the part nobody thinks about; standing in a wind that's edging towards a gale for an hour, watching a cloud layer rolling in that will either put on a show or blanket the sky. A timelapse can't be reviewed mid-shoot; you commit to the exposure, the interval, the framing, and you find out whether it worked when you're back at the desk. Which means the only way to be confident on location is to have a fluid plan that you are sure will hold up in changing conditions. The patience is the easy part. The grit is being prepared to be wrong for hours before you find out you weren't. You have to love this work.
