David Norfolk

Born in 1951 in Peterborough UK, I am a technology analyst, journalist and artist/photographer. I have been an amateur photographer for many years, and was taught colour darkroom in Australia. I now take photographs for my articles and work digitally - the abstract/surreal photography I like is much less clumsy developed on the PC.

I have just added the ARPS to my LRPS Distinction with the Royal Photographic Society. I'm influenced by surrealist artists and by photographers like Man Ray and Lee Miller.

I strongly believe that a RAW image in the camera is a digital negative, which is "developed" in software such as Lightroom. However, although one can change tones, contrast etc to bring up part of an image, I think any truly photographic image should be visible in front of the lens, to someone beside the photographer, not created in software.
