'Simon Marsden's unique photographic work is magical, haunting and eloquent. It speaks of other, stranger worlds. Simon is part photographer, part writer and part guardian of the haunted realms. He is also a consummate storyteller at once captivating in his artistry and delightful in his wit.You really have to see him and his body of work at least once in your lifetime.' Gray Levett, Editor of NIKON OWNER magazine and host of: 'An Evening with Sir Simon Marsden' at Saint Hill Manor in Sussex
In his talks, illustrated with photographic slides, Simon describes how his childhood in two rambling haunted manor houses, set in a remote part of the English countryside, had such a great influence on his work. His father's library of occult books and his unsettling habit of telling his four children ghost stories before they retired to bed, personally filled Simon with such fear that he believes he has spent a lifetime attempting to exorcise these terrors in the extraordinary and unsettling photographic prints he has created.
 As someone who has now published eleven books of his photographs he is also able to give an insight into the research and planning methods he uses when compiling material for each volume. He also explains the unique techniques he employs when shooting the pictures, as well as some of the extraordinary adventures he has encountered when travelling in foreign lands, which sometimes have been truly frightening, and at others outrageously humorous.
These talks appeal not only to photographers and other creative artists, but also to those who are interested in the supernatural and the fantastic in all its many diverse forms. They are one man's inspirational, obsessive journey through a haunted landscape of gothic castles, moonlit abbeys and graveyards in search of his own peace amongst the dark spirits that still haunt them. |
