White Mountain Photograph - Limited Edition of 5

My name is Simon Bolton an award winning photographer with over 25 years experience shooting images professionally. I continue to be inspired by making art work with my camera. I have studied the art of photography for a very long time and it still inspires me to make more work today. I make work that could be considered documentary using an arbitrary way composing and clicking my shutter shooting as life as it happens, but I also use this way making my art work when capturing landscapes and abstracts in nature. I started my photography journey as a trainee photo-journalist and a regional newspaper in Lancashire in the UK. Part of my training was using black and white film ( Ilford 125 or 400) using wet processes to develop film and print in a darkroom. Although the process of photography has changed dramatically the principles of producing great imagery has remained the same whether using darkroom techniques or using post production with digital imagery I recently won an 2 IPA awards 2020 'Oneshot/ Movement/ Highly Commended 2021 'Oneshot/ Our Times/ Highly Commended I started a 8 year project whilst completing my BA in photography and completed it as part of my final piece of work during studying for an MFA in documentary photography.
