Nigel Malone, Nabatea (B&W 2023)

The name of this series comes from the Nabateans - an ancient culture you might be more familiar with for their sculptures in stone at Petra in Jordan. They also travelled to what is now the remote deserts of Arabia, where these photographs were taken. For this series shot on film I used a vintage rangefinder camera. I wanted a similar feel as the historic black and whites images from the time of the discovery of the great pyramids - that can only come from vintage lenses.
