This book will appeal to lovers of fine art photography, nature enthusiasts, and anyone fascinated by the imaginative and surreal interpretations of everyday scenes.
For three years David Batchelder took photos of the sand on the beach not far from his home. In the sand he finds shapes of creatures, formed by tideland, shells or other objects one can find on any beach.

Description
Just like Batchelder's 2015 publication Tideland, Creatures depicts nothing more than small sections of beach, which, in theory, every vacationer could see. But he sees what nobody sees.
As a practiced observer, David Batchelder enters a world of dreams, of the strange and the non-rational, in order to encounter faces, ghosts, angels, or terrestrial and extraterrestrial forms in this world beyond the real. He invites viewers to use the photographs as projection surfaces for their own worlds of imagination.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Sarah Stankey from Lenscratch praises the work for highlighting the overlooked beauty in nature's textures, colours, and shapes, noting how Batchelder’s photographs bring this subtle, recurring beauty to light.

About the Author
In the 1960s, David Batchelder received an MA and MFA in photography from the University of Iowa studying under John Schulze. He taught photography at Smith College, Amherst College, Boston University, Dartmouth State College, and Plymouth State College. His early photographs were exhibited widely, published in Aperture magazine, and can be admired in the following collections: Addison Gallery of American Art, Fogg Museum, George Eastman House, Michigan Institute of Technology, Smith College, Bowdoin College, Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Hood Museum, and Dartmouth College.
