 Chris Friel
is a British colour blind
painter who bought a
camera in 2006 and
has not painted since.

His work is influenced by

the land and seascapes
of his home town, Whit-
stable, in Kent, and by
the challenging environ-
ments he encounters
in his parallel career as
a television documen-
tary sound recordist.

He has been shortlisted

for Landscape Photog-
rapher of the Year for
the past three years run-
ning. His images have
been exhibited in the
South Bank Centre, on
the Santiago subway
in Chile, projected be-
hind the London Sinfo-
nietta in the Royal Fes-
tival Hall, and nearer
home in Whitstable.

His first commissioned

book, a collection of
80 recent photos, has
just been published.

He recently passed
the million hits mark on
Flickr and continues to
be motivated by this dai-
ly source of feedback.

 I have been involved in photog-

Bill allsopp
raphy for most of my life and I am
still passionate about photogra-
phy. If I never sold another print
nor entered another competition
I would always take photographs;
I need it like I need air to breath.

My first camera was a box camera,

which I was given when I was about
5 years old. I progressed through var-
ious film cameras, both 35mm and
medium format and finally went digi-
tal in 2002. I was never entirely hap-
py in the wet darkroom and always
preferred to be taking pictures rather
than messing with chemicals in the
dark, but I now enjoy digital devel-
opment of my pictures almost as
much as being out with the camera.

To me photography is about the im-

age, what equipment you use is sec-
ondary, and to this end I have ex-
changed my DSLR and myriad lenses
and accessories for a Leica M9 and
three primes lenses. Now I travel
light and spend far less time fiddling
with the equipment and more seek-
ing out the subject and the way to
interpret that and to convey what I
see and feel. Landscape photog-
raphy is a major feature of my per-
sonal work these days, alongside my
interest in monochrome of course.

 Riley Snelling
Im a Toronto based photographer. Even though I was born in Can-
ada I lived most of my life overseas in Hong Kong. At the age of fif-
teen I moved back and was given my first camera as a gift. Af-
ter graduating high school I took a gap year to travel the United
States and India where I developed an interest in documentary work.
Im currently pursuing my BFA in photography at Ryerson University.

 Born in Sweden 1978, now residing in

daniel dahlmann
Australia. One might say that I started
taking photos rather late in life, 2008
found me flying blind with a digital
camera for a while before I decided
to test my luck with the analogue
variety. I started with a Pentax Spot-
matic , then a Pentax 67 before my
good friend Richard Rudhager con-
vinced me to buy a Hasselblad and
taught me how to develop my own
film. After a considerable amount of
t-max 400 being developed in my
bathroom I eventually returned to
digital but it took me almost to the
end of 2010 before things started to
fall into place and I would say that
it was first then that I started taking
better photos. I am constantly striving
to develop my artistic side and even
though I still have a lot to learn I feel
that I am starting to find my own style,
which at the present stage is simple,
black & white and preferably 6x6 .
Ive always been a restless soul
whos thoughts have constantly
flown off into the future, never re-
ally spending time in the here and
now... photography has given me
an inner peace and the ability to
look at life and the world around
me in a completely different way.

 Guy Gagnon
I was born in 1964 in Rouyn-Noranda, a small town located in the region of Abitibi-Tmis-
camingue, the heart of the boreal forest in western part of the province of Quebec. In Can-
ada, Rouyn-Noranda is the national capital of Copper. In 1993, I decided to leave Quebec
to settle in Belgium, more precisely in Brussels. I mainly worked as a DBA (DBA) Oracle mostly
in the European institutions, like the European Commission, Office of the Anti-Fraud and the
European Parliament.
I have a Bachelor degree in Computer Management, that I got at the University of Quebec
in Abitibi- Tmiscamingue. I am self-taught in photography, I have never taken a course in
photography. With purchase of a first compact digital camera in 1999, I became curious for
photography world and its technical aspects.. First a simple casual hobby, photography has
quickly became my best way to express my feelings and worldview.

With the acquisition of a first digital SLR in 2002, the photograph turned into a real daily pas-
sion.
In photography, my approach is primarily artistic and emotional. Since I always feel the
need to freely express my emotions and aspirations through a creative activity, photography
appears to be the perfect tool for me. My favorite topics are the flowers and plants, archi-
tecture, landscapes and more recently the portrait. In the next years, I expect to explore
unconventional themes that could arouse thoughts and introspection instead of a basic con-
templation.
Over the last five years, several of my portfolios were published in international magazines,
and I exhibited by work at Alenon (France) in 2007. In 2009, the multinational furniture and
decorating IKEA has chosen three images from my series Fragile, plants in black and white.
These images are now distributed at IKEA worldwide.
Like many other amateur photographers, I hope to publish some of my series inside beautiful
books. One of my greatest wishes is always to make intimate portraits of artists and personali-
ties.

Dreams of Sybiline
In the dreams of Sybilline, we find a universe where time seems to stand still. All is frozen.
These places are meant to be both full of surrealism and fullness. Its sort of a quest for inner
peace, calm, escape the tumult of daily life. This artistic approach is very emotional and is a
kind of therapy.

In the dreams of Sybiline, landscapes are trapped in the ice, they become abstract and
merging them with snow and ice, the scene gives us the taste of contemplation, the desire to
blend ourself into the landscape...

A part of my life took place in Canada, the second one in Belgium. After a while, Im not sure
of my real identity, or where I feel really good. I feel like on a wire suspended between the
two continents, over the Atlantic. Im looking for a place where I could feel good and fulfilled,
where I could find a balance of my aims, emotions and aspirations. The world of fantasy has
always attracted me, especially when their strangeness and fullness are confronted, then
merged into a single universe. I love these allusions to magical worlds Tim Burton.
