Nigel Maudsley: Beauty in Death | MONOVISIONS - Black & White Photography Magazine

MonoVisions Black & White Photo Contest 2025

A dead plant is very beautiful, it’s fragility reminds us of our own mortality. Nigel Maudsley’s series was created after he lost his father. In therapy he learnt how to live in the moment, the ‘now’.

The series was taken on a medium format camera using natural light in his studio. Each image was printed tradtionaly.

His work crosses many genres such as portraiture, landscape and short experimental films. Until July 2008 he worked for London Metropolitan University as the Post Graduate Coordinator and wrote an MA in Photography.
