The photographic work of Liza Dracup is made in response to the British landscape and the environment. Selected pieces from Chasing the Gloaming are currently touring with the Victorian artist Atkinson Grimshaw - Painter of Moonlight exhibition at The Guildhall London. She has made a contemporary photographic body of work that is inspired by Grimshaw’s use of light, colour, subject and location.

Revealing a nocturnal landscape that is fixed by the camera. The photographs depict a landscape that is only made visible by photography. She is interested both in the art and the history of photography.
