This image was made the the Escalante Wilderness of southern Utah and depicts the "slot" canyon environment, caused by erosion of sandstone layers during occasional flooding over hundreds of years.The light and color inside these canyons is magnificent towards mid-day, when reflected light penetrates from above, revealing the colors and forms at their best.

Alastair Magnaldo first encountered photography when he was ten years old, captivated by illuminated black and white prints. This luminous vision of photography has stayed with him. He tries to capture this light in his compositions. Colour is used for the unique purpose of adding atmosphere. Alastair Magnaldo is a scientist by training and remains attached to an experimental and creative approach. He decided to perfect his technique in order to free himself from technical constraints. Some of his photographs are photomontage, but others not and the viewer cannot be certain. What the photographer calls ‘digital prints’ result from this approach.
