Tim- Kirkstall Abbey

These are examples of location photography, shot at Kirstall Abbey. As seen in older projects, such as location shots at millennium square, I tried to show certain techniques typically used at location, such as change in depth of field, light exposure and so on.
With these images, my main focus was creating shadows and also using surrounding landscape features to frame the images, such as trees, other buildings and birds. Also keeping in mind the rule of three main features in each image.
As documented in the images, I did mainly experiment with light exposures, which I think changes the perception of the photograph. The light images are welcoming and angelic, whist the darker are spooky and uninviting. 




Research
Adam Burton

Adam first began teaching himself photography in 2001, mainly from reading magazines and then putting into practice techniques while on location either in the New Forest or along the Dorset coastline. This informal training enabled Adam to develop a unique style that continue to make his photographs instantly recognisable and highly in demand. His knowledge is entirely self taught; he has never received any formal photographic training.

Professional career

Ever since Adam first began taking photography seriously, his images have been in demand commercially. Since 2004 his images have been published regularly in national newspapers and magazines, as well as in books, greeting cards and calendars. Over this time he has worked for many large and prestigious organisations, supplying imagery and undertaking commissions for companies including British Petroleum, The AA, The Times and National Geographic.
