The Heart of the Photograph
David du Chemin feels a compelling photograph is more than visual. It's visceral. We don't only see it, we feel it. It's more than just focusing our lenses, it's also focusing the attention of those who will experience our photographs. Great gear helps, but what about the other tools?
Expressing Creative Vision
Linda Wevill FRPS EFIAP/b is a creative photographer and her aim is to achieve a soft painterly effect in her work, to reflect the essence of a place. She wants to express a personal depiction of her environment, looking beyond the obvious, to capture the atmosphere of the scene and the vision she is trying to convey.
