ABOUT THESE IMAGES THIS WAS MY FIFTH YEAR SHOOTING AT THE RHS CHELSEA FLOWER SHOW. WITH SO MUCH TO SEE AND ONLY A FEW HOURS TO PHOTOGRAPH, IT REALLY FOCUSES YOUR ATTENTION. MY THIRD IMAGE COLLECTION IS ALL ABOUT THE SHOW GARDEN THAT WON BOTH A GOLD MEDAL AND THE ULTIMATE ACCOLADE, BEST IN SHOW: THE LAURENT-PERRIER CHATSWORTH GARDEN, DESIGNED BY DAN PEARSON. UNLIKE THE VAST MAJORITY OF VISITORS TO THE SHOW, I WAS FORTUNATE TO SPEND SOME TIME ON THE GARDEN WHICH OCCUPIED THE TRIANGLE, THE BIGGEST SPACE AT CHELSEA. IT MEANT I SAW VISTAS THAT YOU SIMPLY COULDN’T SEE FROM THE OUTSIDE. IN TRUTH IT WAS LESS OF A GARDEN AND MORE OF A RE-IMAGINING OF PARTS OF THE CHATSWORTH ESTATE (ENGLAND’S BIGGEST STATELY HOME IN DERBYSHIRE) WITH ITS NATURALISTIC PLANTING, MASSIVE ROCKS, TREES AND STREAMS, IT WAS BOTH ATMOSPHERIC AND AUTHENTIC. HOWEVER, GETTING A SHOT THAT CAPTURED THE PLOT OVERALL WAS IMPOSSIBLE. INSTEAD YOU HAD TO SHOOT SMALL SCENES WITHIN THE GARDEN AND WHILST THEY WERE BEAUTIFULLY RECREATED, I’M NOT SO SURE IT WAS EITHER A SHOW GARDEN OR INDEED A SUCCESSFUL EXHIBIT. WHILST YOU COULD APPRECIATE THE UNDOUBTED SKILL AND EFFORT THAT WENT INTO CREATING IT, FOR THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE SEEING IT, THE EXPERIENCE WAS PROBABLY LESS SATISFACTORY. ULTIMATELY, IT WAS A WONDERFUL ADVERT FOR CHATSWORTH (AND INDEED IT WILL BE RE-ASSEMBLED THERE LATER IN THE YEAR) I HOPE MY IMAGES HAVE GONE SOME WAY TO CAPTURING THE ESSENCE OF THE GARDEN FOR YOU. !

ABOUT GARY MARLOWE WITH A BACKGROUND IN MARKETING AND GRAPHIC DESIGN, GARY APPLIES HIS HIGHLY DISTINCTIVE VISUAL STYLE TO CREATING EYE-CATCHING IMAGES ACROSS A DIVERSE ARRAY OF SUBJECT MATTER, FROM ROCK MUSIC AND FAST CARS, TO FASHION AND FLOWERS. CONTINUALLY PUSHING THE BOUNDARIES OF CONVENTIONAL STILL IMAGES THROUGH THE CREATIVE USE OF POST PRODUCTION EDITING, GARY IS ESTABLISHING A REPUTATION AS ONE OF THE NEW BREED OF PROGRESSIVE PHOTOGRAPHERS FOR WHOM THE ONLY BOUNDARIES ARE THOSE AT THE EDGE OF THE FRAME. WHILST HE HAS SPENT MANY YEARS HONING HIS STYLE, EVERY IMAGE IS TREATED INDIVIDUALLY, WHICH RESULTS IN TREATMENTS THAT VARY FROM THE ARTISTIC TO THE AVANT GARDE. THE KEY ALWAYS IS TO PRODUCE AN IMAGE THAT, IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER, IS OUT OF THE ORDINARY.
