About
Hayden Wilde (b.1995) (Devonshire Photographer) typically produces work that surrounds the topics of home, psychogeography and of the rural landscape. Throughout each of his works, there is this reflection on what the English countryside is and one’s relationship to the land. Working primarily in analogue, Hayden uses a process of long, unplanned and immersive walks throughout a location – often complementing the imagery with poetry that reflects on associated memories & feelings towards the area.
His most recent work highlights the ancient landscape of England and its re-established importance in modern times.
