About Me
Hi, I'm John Wright, a British-based photographer obsessed with creating fine art photographs!
My photography journey started in the early 2000s with a cheap point and shoot camera. I’ve since moved on and bought my first DSLR in around 2008. Work in international development took me to places like Serbia, Armenia and Georgia where I dabbled in my free time in improving my composition techniques.
Some years later, I was fortunate to be able to take time away from work. Based in Seville, Spain I spent a year further honing my skills, particularly in post-processing. The art of photography continues to be a journey, but I believe I am pretty adept both in terms of composition and in the art of post-processing in Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop.
Inspiration
Inspiration hits me everywhere, but I'm especially drawn to capturing beauty and presenting my own interpretation of it. I draw inspiration from other artists - I particularly like the impressionists as well as the extraordinary use of light by Caravaggio. In photography, I have found enormous benefit from Blake Rudis (f64academy.com) who has helped me and many others to elevate from humble photographs to artists - through wonderful education. More though, he has helped to understand ‘vision’ - something that is a simple word, but often not seen.
If there is one place that I love above all else it is Venice and the Venetian lagoon. While it is widely photographed, visited and written about, quite apart from its utter splendour, there is always something new and original to see. As a recommendation always go in winter - there are few crowds and the coolness and quality of light is simply breathtaking.
For me, it's all about being out in nature and capturing the full spectrum of what is around us. One day it might be a wonder through a gorgeous landscape or coastal scene and the next a walk through the city. I love playing with the entire emotional range, from peaceful serenity to dramatic awe.
I am also a firm believer that the shot isn't finished in-camera. Editing is where the magic truly happens, where the image comes alive and the mood I felt in the moment takes its final form.
My goal isn't to provide you with a photograph but a piece of art. I hope you feel an emotional connection for the photographs that are here and should you wish one for your own space, do not hesitate to buy.
