British photographer Mark Mawson does not shoot landscapes or portraits. He has completely different interests, and very unusual models. All this author needs for a photo shoot is water, a drop of paint, a tuned light, and a macro lens. And as a result, strange multi-colored figures are born, light and airy, like a chiffon scarf in the wind. However, to say that Mawson does not photograph people and landscapes at all would be untrue. As a photojournalist, he worked for some time with English newspapers and fashion magazines, but then he got bored and moved to Sydney, where he began to take macro photography of droplets of paint falling into the water. As a result of this new hobby, the author was able to bring to the world a fascinating series of photographic works called "Aqueous", which brought him far more fame than photojournalism in his native Sheffield.
More creativity, more imagination, more color and inspiration - that's why Mark Mawson loves the Aqueous series and continues to add more images to it. But the most interesting thing is that even the author never knows in what image this or that drop of paint, which he throws into the water, will appear in front of him. What will it be: jellyfish or explosion, mushroom or fog, lightning or fireworks? If you don’t check it, you don’t know, and that’s the beauty of it.
You can see the work of Mark Mowson on his personal website.
