Alastair Magnaldo

A reproduction of the landscape is at the origin of Alastair Magnaldo?s work. In general, photographic representations are limited : a landscape extends well beyond the strict framework of its representation. In Magnaldo?s work, a landscape is an invitation to dream and to poetry. Each detail has its own meaning, each element a use and each scene tells a story. We have all dreamt of going to sleep in cotton-wool clouds, to twirl amongst the stars or rub shoulders with the moon. The photographer endeavours to render these children?s emotions. His own children are photographed in landscapes which are magical. He is inspired by children?s dreams, their freshness and their false naivety in order to create a world of his own.
