""Time is always important when learning about a new landscape," the photographer shares, "in order to pay close attention you need lots of it." Each visit to the moor revealed something new for the photographer; her creative process growing and changing throughout this collaboration with local residents and environmental experts. Paying close attention to methods others were using to engage with the landscape - from walkover bird surveys to ground-truthing and even drawing"
"The resulting collection of photographs - decisively caught on the slowness of analogue film - are "an expression of the landscape where data stops and colour, interpretation and understanding begins", Juliet shares. With a focus on capturing portraits of the people behind the project, "it always felt important to bring the human story to the forefront to show how closely people are connected to the land," she says."
Juliet spent years decoding large, open landscapes beyond data and through art, working alongside local communities, conservationists and ecologists to portray restoration's positive environmental impact. She invested significant time in each landscape to pay close attention, allowing new observations to emerge with every visit. Collaboration with residents and environmental experts introduced field methods—walkover bird surveys, ground-truthing and drawing as forms of data—which refocused her visual approach at different scales. The photographic collection, shot on analogue film, emphasizes colour, interpretation and understanding where data stops. Portraits foreground the human story and illustrate close connections between people and land. Ongoing conservation work deepens ecological understanding and informs the long-term documentary series.
