Steve Goslin - ‘Hyperbole, Exaggeration & Distortion’
In this presentation Steve provides an insight to his philosophy, his beliefs and the principles that underpin his work and talks about the importance of emotion in photography, about how photographs should be less about technical perfection and more about communication and how we photographers should be true to our vision & not constrained by desires to please others with our images. He will show examples of his B&W landscape images drawn from his recent work and use them to support his presentation as well as talk about specific images (why he took them, what he was trying to communicate etc.).
