Across Ross-shire, the land bears the marks of time, weather, and human hands. Structures looks at what's left behind when utility or conflict fades—from the stark ribs of a fire-damaged farm building near Fearn, to the weathered concrete of old WWII defences at RAF Tain, and the quiet ghost of a military site near Evanton.
By mixing crisp digital capture with tactile, hand-printed silver gelatin prints made in the darkroom, this work explores the tension between permanence and decay. These places aren't just ruins; they are living layers of our shared landscape, holding memory in stone, steel, and shadow.
Based Easter Ross, Rhys Campbell is an analogue and digital photographer, who works in the landscape, focusing on the small details and stories that the land can tell us.
