Giles Revell + Port Magazine

In column titled “A Thousand Words” for Port Magazine, Giles opens up about the concepts that surround some of his recent work:

This image is taken from a series of four (so far), and each contains a sequence of 15  images exploring and documenting the evolution of a colour pallet. They’re made using inks in water, distributed in various ways by currents. The series is a progression from a very clean, precise graphic work documenting pallet I made immediately before this. I’m still developing the work. For me, heading down to Covent Garden for the early shift to pick flowers, to the bacon butty in the cafe all adds to the experience of creating the image.

Giles Revell + Audubon Magazine

This month Giles was featured in Audubon Magazine regarding his leaf photos. A portion of the text is below but Click Here to read more.

“There’s something so satisfying about crunching through fallen leaves, hearing them crackle as they’re pulverized underfoot. Yet next time you see a carpet of leaves, or even a smattering of just a few, take a look before leaping: You might spy one of nature’s ephemeral art displays—a decaying leaf, like this one, photographed by Giles Revell.

“He wasn’t far from his house when Revell discovered several of these botanical skeletons and decided to shoot a series. Ghosts of their former selves, the leaves “almost look manmade when they’re in hand,” he says. “They’re like organic wire meshes.” From their unpredictable folds and fine, labyrinthine veins, familiar forms emerge—landscapes, coastlines, rivers. Simply put, the leaves are “lovely things,” says Revell.”

Giles Revell was awarded “Best in Book” by Creative Review’s Photography Annual in their new motion category for his Art Revealed ad. “Revell filmed the entire sequence in a two-and-a-half-foot square water tank, which was set up at modelmaking and special effects company Asylum in London. Describing the process, Revell says, “We tested for a week together. We were lookng for the right materials, inks and pigments that don’t mix so much with water.” The shoot itself took place over the course of a day, during which around ten takes were made, some of which were up to twenty minutes long.”
