My EXPO:3 response to the track Peaked by Ruane Maurice. The track is a really moody, almost spoken word piece that at points has a breathless quality to the delivery, it reminded me of early Tricky tracks. Initially I wanted to try and portray a sound wave or something to that effect that incorporated landscapes and the photographic techniques I’ve been exploring for a while now. I’d previously shot a double exposure of a landscape in the Peak District that had a climactic narrative similar to the track but I just wasn’t happy with the presentation. After repeating the technique shooting different landscapes in different parts of the Peak District the below image is the one I settled on. The effect is achieved in camera by exposing the film twice. The camera was rotated around a central point in between exposures to create the mirrored landscape. Check the track out in the player just below.
