About the Artist
Andrew Brooks is a Manchester photographer interested in the history and stories of locations. Getting lost amongst and within the buildings, cityscapes and landscapes, he archives the forgotten spaces to tell the tales of these sites.
Taking inspiration from paintings within the Romantic era, Brooks uses small details and studies of the landscape to create larger scale works that become his interpretation of that particular location.
Through the process of building images, he aims to capture the forms and rhythms of nature and the city. Often as imagined or re-imagined scenes, he aims to create a heightened sense of place that feeds into audience's interaction with the work.
