I've been practising my B&W photography a lot recently and over the coming few weeks I'd like to show you a series of photos that I took on one trip back to the area of coastal NW England just north of Liverpool where I was born and spent most of my life.
The photos themselves don't need much explantaion other than to say that I went out specifically to take B&W photos and so I was looking for the classic photographic elements such as contrasts, good texture, tone and, of course, an interesting balance between light and dark - shadow & light.
Like what you see here and are interested in photographic composition?.....the blog section of my website now has a complete set of 5 articles covering my personal approach to the subject: Ian Bramham Photography - Blog
For purchasing high quality archival prints of any of these photos you can send me an email by clicking here or by going to my website Ian Bramham - Fine Art Photography where prices are listed in the gallery sections under each individual photo.
