'Fungi'

Taken from an ongoing series looking at theatricality within the landscape. "Fungi possess a kingdom of their own and are essential in maintaining a healthy ecosystem. It is to this realm that photographer and filmmaker Roy Mehta turns his attention. As he forays in his local forest, Mehta lights the miniature worlds that he chances upon in his woodland scenes to highlight their sculptural forms and subtle shading. Here are the protagonists of mystical eco-dramas played out against a natural backdrop in flux." Miranda Gavin
