Andrew Payne - I have been photographing water in Bedford since 1983. This is not a grand or exotic landscape, but in these close-up photographs of water, shadows and reflections, another world is revealed. Although the images have not been manipulated by the photographer they give an impression of a distorted reality. While they have an appearance of alien landscapes, they are records of a real place. The photographs are the result of intense looking, concentrating on isolated elements of a landscape.
