This diptych features two grain elevators photographed in rural Saskatchewan during winter. Captured in black and white, the images highlight the stark, quiet presence of these prairie structures, standing isolated in snow-covered fields.

With a strong focus on composition, Paul Newton has been capturing images from around the world for several decades. His objective is to find the narrative in all of his work for the viewer to explore. Each image captures a mood, a story, or an experience. There is profound consideration for the distinct qualities of colour and black & white photography. Working with multiple techniques, escape is the underlying thread to all images. The fundamental photographic element is to transport the viewer to new places, both real and imaginary.
