I am a landscape photographer currently focusing on seascapes and the movement of water.  I originally studied art at the Columbus College of Art and Design but a career as a professional firefighter and paramedic won out.  This career afforded me an abundance of time for exploring the outdoors.  For me, fly fishing and exploring trout and steelhead rivers throughout the midwest and western United States went hand in hand with having a camera to record the scenery and the fish.  Spending time in these rivers surrounded by spectacular scenery created a deep fondness and fascination for landscapes and moving water.  When my career ended six years ago I began to focus on photography as a means of expressing my thoughts and experiences.  I currently live and explore the coast in Florida.

As an amateur architecture photographer with an eye for the urban landscape, I am passionate about documenting the ever-evolving cityscapes. With my pictures, I strive to capture the transformative power of architecture in reshaping our cities and the stories that they tell. I get enjoyment from capturing the everyday in different ways, and the frequently photographed in abstract forms.

My journey into photography, which started with travel and wildlife, has more recently grown into a fascination with the built environment. I often explore the streets of London, marvelling at the blend of historical and contemporary structures that shape the city’s identity. I find beauty in the intricate details of skyscrapers, the symmetry of bridges and staircases, and the interplay of light and shadows within the cityscape. For me, the city is a living canvas, continually evolving with the passage of time. I enjoy the ingenious modern designs that breathe new life into neglected neighbourhoods. Every photograph I take is an interpretation of the city’s resilience and its ability to adapt and grow.

I am a photographer who captures close-up shots of coastal landscapes, exploring the intricate details of rocks, sand, and water. My work seeks to create a space where natural details spark thoughts and emotions.

I focus on the often-overlooked details, revealing the contrasts between the rough, solid surfaces of rocks and the smooth, ever-changing patterns of sand and water. Through these contrasts, I strive to present a natural environment that fosters a human connection.

Each piece reflects my own experiences, yet they are universal human experiences that we all share. By capturing moments such as menace, chaos, and renewal, I explore a spectrum of emotions, both negative and positive. Often, in the midst of each negative experience, there is a silver lining or a path that leads you to something more positive.

Robert is a London-based street photographer who walks the streets with his dogs daily. In this collection, he presents a series of black-and-white street photographs that capture the essence of London as he experiences it—raw, timeless, and full of life. Each image is a candid moment taken while wandering the streets of the capital, revealing the intricate details of everyday life that often go unnoticed.

Through the lens of monochrome, I strip away the distractions of colour to focus on the textures, contrasts, and fleeting interactions that define the city’s character. In its perpetual motion, London offers a rich tapestry of stories—stories of quiet corners, bustling markets, fleeting glances, and moments of solitude amidst the urban rush.

Dark Horse

Whilst I love all genres, one of my passions is horse photography. Throughout a turbulent childhood I took solace in three things: books, horses and sketching. The latter two combining into a love of drawing horses and, in particular, trying to capture the way they moved and the beauty of their physical form. Whatever was the subject of school Art classes; buildings, portraits or landscapes, I would introduce a horse galloping through the fields or arching their necks to eat much to the puzzlement of my teacher. However, growing up in a Comprehensive School in the Midlands during the 1970s and 80s, a career in Art, especially one so specialised, was not seen as a serious option so I put away my sketch pad and put on a lab coat for a career in technology.

“Braving the Bleak” is the title of the series exhibited here.

Born in France but having traveled and lived in various countries including Italy, UK, Spain, USA and China with a camera at hand, I have come to think that the world is still worth being considered.
That’s why I strive to reveal it as is or through gently edited images. To me photography is a versatile art. Whatever its purpose – editorial, commercial, artistic, journalism, documentary or others – it inspires us to smile, dream, think. At least, that’s my goal.

Victor, originally from a mountainous region in Northern Spain, has always been fascinated by the world of photography. His journey began during his childhood, capturing moments during family events with his father’s Konica FT-1. Soon, he was given his very own Kodak 335 point-and-shoot camera, and he could not feel prouder of developing and showing the results to family members, even if most showed a not-so-great composition or had part of one of his fingers showing in the photograph.

When Victor turned 18, he saved enough to buy his first DSLR, an entry-level Nikon, which he used primarily for portrait and travel photography. Over time, his interests broadened to include landscape, wildlife, travel, and street. The latter has become a captivating type of photography for him, offering a raw and spontaneous glimpse into everyday life.

I’m a London-based photographer originally from Spain. My work is centred around traditional and alternative photographic methods, such as silver gelatin and platinum/palladium printing processes. I gravitate towards a ‘slow photography’ approach, embracing the process and craft to produce pictures that are not just fleeting digital images but lasting physical objects.

All images exhibited are handmade photographs printed in the darkroom using archival methods. Limited prints are available for sale. Contact jose@joseesteve.com
