Mike McFarlane hits the mark with Newcastle PR firm (August 06)
Art Evolution photographer, Mike McFarlane, is to display some of his latest work in new Dean Street offices of Admiral PR.
Leading communications agency Admiral PR and Marketing, that beat off stiff competition in June to win the highly coveted One NorthEast Regional Image and Tourism PR account, is also keen to support the campaign in a wider sense, by seeking out and investing in the region’s most ‘Passionate people’.
The company has purchased seven prints from Mike’s latest collection, which feature striking shots of Lindisfarne, Druridge Bay , Orton, Saltburn and Howick.
Mike has long been captivated by the beauty, colour and rhythms of the natural world, and in particular by the landscape beauty of North East England.
His striking images of wild untamed landscapes, deserted moorlands, serpentine waters and rising mists have given an entirely new dimension and ‘other-worldliness’ to the coastline and countryside of our region.
Using a combination of techniques including long exposures, Mike has found novel ways to capture the very essence of moving water, emerging light and natural symmetry. The result is a magnificent collection of kaleidoscopic vistas, evolving seascapes and ethereal natural events. His pictures truly engage the senses and stir the imagination.
Mike said: “North East England is a spectacularly beautiful region, with its dramatic shorelines and hill lands, river valleys and cultural curiosities. Both as a native of the area and an artist, I find it a fascinating place.”
“Sometimes, it can take a whole day or longer to get the right light and conditions needed to set up a single shot, but to capture that single moment is always worth the wait”, added Mike.
Georgie Cameron, managing director of Admiral, said: “Mike’s work is simply beautiful – he has given an entirely new creative dimension to some of our best-loved regional landscapes. He is a leading light in a wave of emerging creative talent in the region and we are extremely pleased to support him in this way.”
