Nothing here has been enhanced. Everything you see is derived from the object — the record below says exactly how each view was made.

Bale Ready by Neal Philpott
Set your screen once. Hold a bank card against the screen and slide until the orange outline matches its width.

This is the photograph at true size, for placing it in your room with your phone. Its sides and back will appear here after the studio capture — we will not invent them.

The surface under moving light

This view is built only from real photographs of the work, each lit from a different angle, so you can move the light yourself and watch the real surface answer. It is being captured in the studio and will appear here. Until then we show nothing rather than an imitation.

“I try to capture how light enlivens these scenes and makes them transcendent for a brief moment.”— Neal Philpott

A cut field running back to a dark treeline under a wide pale sky, the stubble in bands of ochre and bone, one small stand of trees breaking the middle distance. Philpott has said he is attracted to real views rather than contrived ones, and this is the test case: a mown field is not a picturesque subject, and he does not improve it. The whole picture rests on how the light lies along the cut rows.
