This is the nineteenth book in  an ongoing bi-monthly series publishing the work of emerging photographers.

The process of creating photos is a way for me to lean into my imagination – to bring things in the world together, to see what meaning comes out of that process. I enjoy working with the things that I love: the spiritual, nature, animals, intimacies; quiet and tender moments. The sensual always seems to appear in my photographs – whether through the quality of light, a human gesture or the creatures and plants. The images in this book were taken in North Wales, where I grew up and where, for me, a lot of archetypal powers intersect. Juxtaposed with my self-portraiture and still life, these images form an important chapter in my life and work up until now.” – Lena Aires

About the Artist
I’m a photographer working through the wonderful medium of film. I take photos to bring things together and to find meaning in what’s around me. I enjoy working with the things that I love: the spiritual, nature, animals, intimacies; quiet and tender moments. I like to blend memory, place and craft through portraiture, still life and documentary imagery.
