Photography: Hazy landscapes and Yetis in Nick Meek's photography

The best thing about cameras (vs. eyeballs) is that when you look through your stupid old eyeballs you don’t get nearly as good colours or red fade around the edges of your vision. That’s why everyone talks about cameras all the time and not opticians. Nick Meek’s photography’s packed full of special effects that your eyeballs don’t even try to imitate. The skies are bluer, the mountains are pinker and the sun seems to be filling the space around you with fat, glowing dust. As well as making the world look better, Nick also photographs space shuttles and gets his friends to dress up as Yetis and run through snowy mountain ranges so he can photograph them. Each to his own. Nick’s great.
