Ancient and Veteran Trees
‘Ancient and veteran trees are a link to our past. They form a large part of our cultural heritage and are extremely valuable for wildlife. One of the first steps in protecting an ancient or veteran tree is to help people understand the value of these trees. It is also vital to record the presence of ancient trees.’
Since February 2023 I’ve been photographing Old, Ancient and Veteran Trees in the borderland of North Herefordshire and Wales, known as the Welsh Marches, using a 6×6 square format rangefinder camera and monochrome film.
Darkness
This film is designed to reimagine some of the paintings by artist Richard Gilbert of ancient trees at Brampton Bryan in North Herefordshire. The five-minute film is best watched on a large screen in dark or dim ambient lighting conditions with the sound turned up so that the immersive atmosphere of being present in the parkland is created.
