These are a mixutre of photos from Coming Soon and Welcome to Nowhere.
The colours are extremely vivid and dramatic. It amazes me that there is no postproduction here. Parke's use of light and shadow is impressive and something he considers in great detail.
This is a quote from Parke in an interview he did for The British Journal of Photography.
“I wanted to have this quietness, this stillness to the images. I’d have five spots in my day where I shoot from and I know that at say, 7 o’clock in the morning the light will be in a certain place and I can shoot there for ten minutes, then I move back to another spot where the light will be in a different place and I’ll shoot there. With this work, I’ll go back to a place again and again and again until something happens. I shoot a lot of pictures, up to 40 rolls a day. It costs me a fortune in film.”
