A visionary explorer of twilight zones — between nature and civilisation, youth and adulthood, male and female — whose photographs are painterly tableaux that continue the traditions of romantic literature and painting. These elegant, formal photographs of battered landscapes and fragile, wispy youths resemble nothing so much as Flemish still-lifes; rarely has colour photography captured so profoundly the furry texture of night-time.
