Simon Baxter

In this episode of Biblioscapes In Discussion I am joined by Simon Baxter to discuss his photography and his book Gathering Time.

It expresses the calm, quiet awe and emotion of woodland, as well as Simon’s unique connection to this beautifully complex world. Driven by the freely available therapeutic benefits of nature close to home, Simon has spent several years crafting woodland images to communicate his fascination with trees and appreciation for the sanctuary their home has provided.

We also discussed a selection of Simon’s favourite photobooks from his own bookshelf…

• The Hidden Life of Trees… Peter Wohlleben

• The Meaning in the Making… Sean Tucker

• Colin Bell, Paul Wakefield, Rachael Talibart, Ben Horne and Hans Strand

You can see more of Simon’s work on his website and find him on Instagram and Twitter.
