Kingswood Photographic Society is
absolutely delighted to welcome John Hooton FIPF, FRPS, MFIAP, as their speaker
on Friday, 20th February, giving an illustrated print talk entitled Gathering Light.
John Hooton is an award winning landscape and
seascape fine art photographer. He says: “For the last thirty years I
have been captivated by the ever varying light and mood of Ireland's
Atlantic coastline. Exploring this region has offered me an insight into the
way our landscape has transformed and evolved over centuries. The fragmented
Irish Atlantic coast from its mountains to the sea is a wealth of natural
beauty. It is in this space that I find solitude. From the subtle colours of
early morning light, the Irish landscape compels me to capture it. Ireland's
notorious changeable weather provides a challenge and there is a depth and
emotion which each ray of light imparts on this demanding landscape. My images
reflect the changing light, and my use of a wide angle lens lends to it a
better sense of place and location. The strong use of foreground intensifies
the image, while the infinite expanse of ocean reminds us of the vastness of
our world. It is here, in Ireland,
with its wind and rain, sunshine and cloud, that I find inspiration for my work.”
