Mystical
DESCRIPTION
Mystical has been an ongoing photographic project by Neil Burnell and documents his unique vision of Wistman’s Wood over the last 4 years. The ongoing series takes a look at the fairytale-like atmosphere created by the thick fog, gnarled trees, and moss-covered stones of Wistman’s Wood in Dartmoor, Devon, England. This particular wood has long been the subject of folklore and myth, with many writers describing it as the most haunted location in Dartmoor.
“Over the past few years I’ve got to know the woodland better and better the more I’ve visited. I’ve also slowly adapted my shooting and processing style to a stage where I’m now happy to exhibit the latest images in the series. Printing this series was always the end goal for me and I’m now proud to be able to do so”.
