About Joe Roper

I am a Cumbrian born photographic artist based in Manchester. My main fascination with the world is nature and landscape, this perhaps stems from a rural upbringing. My experience of photography started not long before I applied for my degree, after traveling for 2 years I found myself in possession of a camera and became absorbed in freezing slices of time. It was at this point I started to see the potential of making images and the power they can hold. However, I knew little of how to make images that spoke to people and longed to understand the technicality of crafting meaning through a photograph.
Over the past 3 years I have made a variety of different photographic work and more recently film but have found myself returning to my roots of nature.
