Between the slopes

“The idea for this series came to me when I saw the work of certain artists who use AI to create fictional portholes. I thought to myself, ‘Why not use this concept with my own travel photos, paired with interiors of legendary trains that I'll go and capture?’ And that's how ‘seats with a view’ came about.” "

“There are many trains with incredible views, so I took it a step further and thought, ‘What if we could go anywhere by train?’”

"I did some research and found that there are more than 1,200,000 km of railroad tracks around the world. This opens up a world of possibilities for the many journeys that can be made by train and the views they allow us to discover."

"My ‘seats with a view’ are made entirely from photographs I have taken. I simply use Photoshop to match a landscape with the interior of a train. As Boris Vian said: ‘Everything is true because I invented it.’"

“For me, the three most legendary trains would be: the Orient Express, of course, which connects Paris to Venice. Then the Snowpiercer from the Netflix series, which makes an endless tour of the globe, and finally the Hogwarts Express for the magnificent Scottish landscapes it passes through.”
