Isolation – Matthew Batten

Isolation

In this series, I set out to dramatically captured the overpowering awe of complete loneliness, whether in the sheer solitude of the dejected and decaying inanimate objects, or in you, as the viewer of emptiness. Surrounded by the silence, you can feel the inhuman embrace of total seclusion. Standing in that field, at the base of that hill, or deep in the woods, you are certain that you could disappear right there and then. And perhaps you already have. Would anyone notice? This vulnerability is the drama of isolation.

Matthew Batten

Matt graduated as a Bachelor of Arts, majoring in the visual arts of painting and drawing. He exhibited his fine art before pursuing a career in advertising as a designer then as Art Director for the past 8 years.

His passion for creativity took a new turn when he discovered the world through a camera lens. A certificate course from the Australian Centre for Photography cemented the knowledge he needed to flourish as a photographer.

Some would say it’s a dangerous thing when an Art Director starts turning out his own shots, but when you couple the creative spark and the photographic art in the same mind, there are no limits.
