Life on the Edge: Photography by Dennis Maitland
‘When I started this series, in August, I was afraid of heights and I was afraid to climb ladders past 10 feet. After a few times sitting or standing on ledges, I found myself getting more comfortable with it. I soon realized how to tune everything out and just focus on getting a steady handheld shot. Now, when I go into a building, I’m always looking up and for stuff to climb. The series has pushed me out of my comfort zones and helped expand my creative boundaries. I’ve been able to concur my fear of heights and now I crave the adrenaline’.”
I really like the depth of these images and just how powerful they are. It is a perspective you would not have though about which engage the audience. The leading lines also help with creating a dramatic effect of how intense the situation is. I like the lines of these images and feel they are really effective at putting the audience on edge, quite literally.
