	Complete gallery (view in flash) (view in html) As the name suggests everything online, in one gallery
	Ancient Yew Forests (view in flash) (view in html) Acclaimed series taken over successive visits to a private woodland. The yews photographed here are thousands of years old, predating Stonehenge..
	Tannery series (view in flash) (view in html) Deep with religious undertones, rich in colour and texture, these powerful images, shot beautifully further Steve's foray into the dark side of the subconscious.
	The lighter side (view in flash) (view in html) From the juxtaposition of the mundane, a zipper for an alien, to the concieved and set up. A chance for a laugh and a ribbing.

"The human eye that sees its own and other familiar images in the fluctuating forms of nature is merley exercising its normal function, observing, in accordance with the way it was designed, that which nature was correspondingly designed to reveal."
John Mitchell

"As we are drawn into Steve West's compelling photographs of ancient yews, we begin to particiapte in that special category of active seeing which so fascinated the Surrealists. Instead of passively recording, albeit with pleasure, our eyes being to perceive another reality..."
Paul Kilsby, 1997

"Tread warily, look perceptively for the Yews are always there, gnarled branches, roots groping like tendrils in a skeleton sown earth to draw up and reveal thoughts, messages, curses thousands of years old. A moment later the light has changed, the shapes and figures enveloped again within their tree form. It is safe to proceed, but hurry. Cross yourself and don't look back."
