Every landscape tells a story…

…but how do we record what we find, how do we interpret the observations in a modern world?

3D Photogrammetry

The term 'photogrammetry' describes a variety of methods by which information can be extracted from still photographs. I am most interested in generating three-dimensional digital models which record monuments in a very different way to static pictures.

Click on the button below to view my 3D models. Please note that many of the models are high resolution images which reveal the rock textures to best effect. They can take time to download, and might not work correctly on some mobile browsers.
