Portfolio
The images on this site are some of my favourites and on a variety of subjects and from a range of locations. On some of the subjects I have quite a few other images that I like just as much but I wanted this site to feature variety as much as possible. I might in the future add a section featuring single subjects - not yet though.
My Approach
I don't often set out just to take photos, mostly I capture what I see when I see it. In public settings I prefer to focus on the environment and not so much on the people. I am not someone who could or would walk up to a stranger and ask if I could take their picture so not many of my photos show faces. I like taking my time, which is easier with photos of places and things. I generally do little to the images in terms of editing, I might crop or touch up to remove dust. Sometimes I will play with contrast etc and some just look better if I make them black and white. I have put this site up as my photography makes me happy and I'd like to share a bit of that.
Equipment
The images on this site were taken with a range of different cameras, mostly Nikons, starting with a Nikon FM, and including a Nikon FA, Nikon F4, and most recently a Nikon D2X (my first digital SLR). Other cameras include simple point and shoots and even my Samsung phone and iphone. Much of the film work was done using velvia and then scanned. All shots were handheld.
I have also shot with 120 roll film though have not scanned any of those slides yet. I did enjoy coming to grips with fully manual shooting, including with no light meter. I can't say I became expert but I did get some results I quite liked.
About
Hi, my name is Jason, I have been interested in photography since I was a boy. Over the years I have explored what I like and learned by doing. My style and interest has evolved but visual appeal and impact are common themes. I like to record as well as reveal by what I shoot and I hope you find something of interest here.
