I came across Simon Bond in an article in the metro called 'The crystal gaze'. Born in Winchester, Bond moved to Korea and wanted to make images that expressed how different it was. Taking photographs through a glass sphere is his way of capturing scenes that don't seem real. "Travelling around Asia I often found myself seeing such alien images,' he says. 'Some of the sights are so different from back home I felt like what I was seeing wasn't real. I wanted to capture that on the camera. One of my favourites is the image of Suncheon Bay, which is popular with photographers and has been pictured to death. I was trying to find a way to get a fresh angle on it and realised the ball would bring a great new dimension.'
