Adam Bennett is a photographer and academic based in the West Midlands. His landscape photographs, in combination with research, explore themes relating to land use, ecology and notions of heritage.
Working with a large format camera, he uses photography as a medium to connect the past to the present, interrogate myths instilled within the traditions of landscape and to bring contemporary environmental issues to the forefront. He is particularly interested in disseminating photographic work outside of the digital realm and utilising the medium of the photobook.
His recent work ‘Common Ground’ which explores links between land ownership structures and ecological value has recently been exhibited at Four Corners Gallery in London, as part of Format International Photography Festival and presented at an interdisciplinary symposium held by the Museum of English Rural Life and the Open Spaces Society.
