The main source of my photographic inspiration over the last few years apart from Mother Nature herself has come from the prized English photographer, David Noton. Its his fantastic landscape and seascape images that really got me thinking about how I was trying to capture my images, and, after seeing his video "Chasing the Light" showing how he managed to produce such fabulous images. It forced me to reevaluate the techniques I used in producing images with that vibrant tropical light I wanted, to work with the scenes and subjects being photographed to make then really say something about Asia.
I realized its far more about having patience, its finding the scene (the legwork) and then capturing it in really cool or hot tropical light, its about making the effort to get up early or stay out late, if you really want the results.
Lets hope at least some of my images are now capturing the essence of tropical light and how it really makes images glow, hopefully you can smell the sea and saltiness or that humid stickiness that’s so Asia.
I am now a committed fan of his work and the inspiration he offers to get me up and out well before dawn, to try and capture that something a little bit special.
So the real magic is in capturing the light, in my case tropical light.
David Noton's website link is listed if you need a dose of some real photographic inspiration.
