Ken Johnston of The New York Times wrote of Stewart’s work “... Minimalist Photography, like Minimalist Painting, can be paradoxically rich ... Iain Stewart’s distant shots of deep blue skies fading to orange or white wed the formal and the celestial.” His images capture subtle changes in light and weather, often the product of long exposures taken at the start or finish of a day. Stewart has said, “A photograph has a magical relationship with time and place - hovering in some curious indefinable space.”
