![]() Her work has a signature style even though she made noticeable technical changes throughout her career, which reflected a shift in concept and vision. Diane Arbusĭiane Arbus is one of the most famous American portrait photographers, and she was the first photographer to be included in the Venice Biennale in 1972. Le Gray also taught photography and made some technical innovations such as adding wax to paper negatives, doing combined printing and collaborating to invent the wet collodion method. His portraits of Giuseppe Garibaldi gave him fame throughout Europe. ![]() He got interested in photography in 1847, doing his first daguerrotypes. Le Gray was a 19th-century French photographer trained initially as a painter.

However, there is a temptation to overuse these programs giving rise to unnatural looking colours and images, a trap I occasionally fall into! In order to keep up with the latest technology I have recently added a second camera to my kit – the new mirrorless Canon R5 which I’m still experimenting with at this early stage.Īlso no longer required is the lengthy darkroom process which has been replaced by digital processing programs such as Adobe Photoshop which I use for post-production of the finished pic. To take advantage of this, I upgraded to the Nikon D850 which boasts 45 megapixels and I’m very impressed with its performance. In the 21st century, digital cameras have completely transformed photography and they just keep getting better and better. My camera of choice was a Nikon D750, which captured most of the images currently on my website, and my favourite lens is the Nikon 200/500 Zoom which is so good that I never have to use a tripod. At the other extreme, don’t wear brightly coloured clothing as most animals use their vision to detect movement and bright clothes are a dead give-away! Dark neutral colours are usually sufficient. When photographing wildlife, I have never found the need to cover myself and camera in camouflage as if I’m on an SAS mission. This is particularly relevant during the deer ruts when, unfortunately, much disturbance by photographers occurs by trying to get too close. If you can’t get the shot from a sensible distance, forget the shot – there will be another opportunity. We’ve all done it but don’t fall into the trap. There is an unfortunate condition with many photographers that makes them want to get that one step closer and then another until their subject is disturbed and gone. There’s no substitute for a decent long lens to capture those close ups, but from a distance that doesn’t disturb. You soon learn that a degree of stealth and a lot of patience is required. ![]() Nature photography is my favourite, particularly deer and birds, as it presents a real challenge and it can take ages to get that shot you’ve always been after. Sometimes I return home with pics that I’m proud of and at other times that special shot eludes me and I just end up taking my camera for a walk, but a walk in the New Forest is always special to me. I regard myself as an opportunist photographer rather than a specialist and I just photograph what I see on walks around woodland, heath, and coastline. In addition to running a community woodland project, I am a keen amateur photographer who enjoys photographing the incredible variety of wildlife that can be found in the New Forest. I have lived in the New Forest for over 30 years. Welcome to my New Forest Photography website. ![]()
