Introduction
A short hisory
I am Simon and this is my story.
I am a photographer based in the northern UK (Scotland to be exact)
and work with digital mostly these days but I do still use film on occasion.
I started out photographically at the age of 8 where I worked as a darkroom assistant for 2 years before even picking a camera up, that knowledge became very important in later years. The photographer that I was working with gave me my first camera and taught me the basics step by step, I was hooked, maybe I will do the same thing to someone one day.
My photography covers many genres and is limited only by my imagination and the ability to achieve what I want, some of my ideas and indeed experiments don’t work ha ha!
My mainstay in latter years is with the photography of people, including Fashion, glamour, fine art and figure nude, although I will and do work with numerous other styles. Additionally I work with landscape, wildlife and motor sport (sometimes) to name just a few.
I like to collaborate with the people that I work with, to find the inner "them" instead of just telling them what to do, this method works for me and can produce unique, emotional and expressive images.
I also work with an artist on occasion, who will then use my photographic work to produce artworks in one or more of several media types, something I wish to do more of as time permits.
