From press pack: Darren Almond uses the moon as his only source of light and an extensive exposure time of 15 minutes or more, to turn night into day. He creates meditative landscapes that have a unique and mysterious quality and often depicts remote geographical locations. For this series, he was especially drawn to the Yellow Mountain range, known as Xihai or Huang Shan in the Anhui province of China. The region has magnificent peaks and canyons, as well as extraordinary natural sites of Chinese spiritualism.
