BBC Philharmonic Commision
This is my latest commissioned project in which I have created a set of posters for the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra. I was set the brief of creating landscape images which reflect the music that they are playing over the next season. It gave me the chance to hear some beautiful classical music and then find ways of representing the themes ideas and atmosphere through landscape photography.
There is lots more information on the project on my site at this link.
The project was a commissioned work in collaboration with UK creative agency Raw Design who used these images to create the posters for this seasons concerts.

Devils Kitchen
Here's a new landscape from my BBC Philharmonic project, created for the poster for Mahler's Symphony No. 5. It's shows the an area called the Devils Kitchen which is in Snowdonia, such dramatic landscapes in that part of North Wales.
See a more detailed version of this shot and more from this project here.
And prints of this and many other shots available here.
Here's my latest picture for the BBC Philharmonic, made for there upcoming concert which features Dvorak Symphony No 7.
I wanted to capture the energy and drive of this music and also something of the era when it was written.
You can see this shot in lots more detail here.
And prints are available from my online `http://shop.andrewbrooksphotography.com/.
The image is built from many elements, including a train I photographed in Manchester's Museum of Science and Industry and an old disused rail track called the Monsel Trail, which runs between Buxton and Bakewell in the Peak District. The trail is now a cycle and walking path so it was interesting to (digitally) put a train on there for the first time since 1968.

Wagner's 'Götterdämmerung - Twilight of the Gods'

Here's a closer look at how I made the horse and rider for my Wagner image.
The image on the right is the one I made and used within the final picture and was based on "In Manus Tuas Domine" by Riviere Briton, which is one of the amazing paintings in the Manchester Art Gallery.
To build the armor of the knight I photographed many items in the galleries Craft & Design room and totally reshaped and built many together. Also, as in quite a few of my shots I've put myself on the horse. Always like to put these odd little details in my shots.
