Bryan is from Durham and is used to the outdoors being a construction joiner on building sites. Touring and caravanning gave him the perfect chance to take up photography.
I took up photography just over 2 years ago as I have a touring caravan and like go to Northumberland, Yorkshire, Scotland and the Lake District as often as work permits. My favourite location for photography has to be the Isle of Skye where I find the scenery just incredible.
When Bryan first started he was shooting in auto then got talking to a painter on the site where he was working. This was photographer and fellow Visionary Martyn Dunbar.
We went out one day with the cameras and he showed me how to shoot in manual. My interest started to grow when I saw what could be achieved by shooting in Manual and Raw, then editing in Lightroom.
Bryan has a love of waterfalls and lakes, and as he progressed quickly realised he needed a good filter system. He was introduced to Nisi by Ivor Miller, and soon realised just what a difference good filters could make.
I started with a Nikon D5300 then traded to a D7200 for my landscape work. I then added a D500 to my kit as I’m also a keen wildlife photographer. My next move was to trade the D7200 for a D810 . Whilst in Skye this year I got talking to a photographer at Sligachan who was using a D850, so my gear was traded in for one. Now I am using a camera with one of the best Dynamic Ranges available I know I also have the best filters to suit it.
