One of the most beautiful photographs I've ever been fortunate to make, this warm and inviting image depicts an array of flowers and trees in a natural area the southern coast of California.I stumbled across the scene while walking with my young son one day and returned dozens of times since.The image captures sunset light and the glowing colors in early spring.

Alastair Magnaldo first encountered photography when he was ten years old, captivated by illuminated black and white prints. This luminous vision of photography has stayed with him. He tries to capture this light in his compositions. Colour is used for the unique purpose of adding atmosphere. Alastair Magnaldo is a scientist by training and remains attached to an experimental and creative approach. He decided to perfect his technique in order to free himself from technical constraints. Some of his photographs are photomontage, but others not and the viewer cannot be certain. What the photographer calls ‘digital prints’ result from this approach.
