I am a self taught freelance photographer, working exclusively in digital. I have both Nikon and Canon cameras and various lenses and accessories for both. Also a range of studio lighting. I prefer to work with my own equipment but have in the past used specialised equipment belonging to clients.
The majority of work I do is for myself. In the summer I can usually be found crawling through the undergrowth of the nearby forest. Which is conveniently situated 10 minutes drive from my home. Looking for any bugs and insects I have not yet photographed. When I'm not doing that I am cultivating my far from ample garden, in an attempt to grow flowers and shrubs that I can photograph, as well as encouraging wildlife.
The long dark winter months are when I work in the studio. There I will set up still lifes or cajole members of the family to pose.
Having a background in Fine art and Illustration some of my favorite photos are converted in image manipulation programmes into 'digital paintings'. These I sell as posters via my own website alongside photographs which are available to buy online and download 24/7. www.photography1st.com |
