Zero Footprint - Leeming Paterson
The inspiration behind Zero Footprints.
"Take a step out your front door and take in your surroundings. Maybe you have a rural, secluded vista filled with mountains or sweeping plains. Maybe skyscrapers and high rises jut out of the earth every which way you look. Or maybe it’s just a quiet, tree-lined suburban home with a well-manicured garden. Now imagine spending the next five years creating photos from where you stand. Only from where you stand. Then put together an incredible photo book to critical acclaim all while making a major statement about protecting our environment. Over the course of five years, 'Zero Footprints' founders Morag Paterson and Ted Leeming made this seemingly implausible concept into reality with their project and subsequent photo book, Zero Footprint, filled with images created at their home while having a zero travel carbon footprint." The images present the absolute magnificence of the world we inhabit, though its fragility is manifest through the monochromatic colour, texture, season, weather and light.
