Toby Smith
Toby Smith’s photography is the result of an obsessive involvement in his subject matter. His 2008 LLC Nikon Discovery prizewinning series was researched and photographed over the course of a year, during which he took over 600 images, repeatedly visiting over thirty sites across the country, sleeping under the stars while his camera recorded exposures lasting up to 5 hours, wading through lakes to find his chosen angle and enduring arrest and interrogation at gunpoint. For him, night provides a more interesting and dynamic light, subtlety and variation to colour and tone and enlivens a landscape that, by day, can often appear mundane.
