What's new on EO Photos?
It has been 5 months since our last newsletter. As EO Photos is gaining popularity we are making sure that it still only offers the finest landscapes from your favourite places! It is interesting to notice that digital photography is definitely taking the lead in photography, with top of the range cameras now offering an equivalence in quality to medium format film cameras.
However, for those of you who still wish to feel the delicate touch, saturation and unrivaled grain of our good old trannies through the photographs they purchased,
there is no better place than EO Photos! Film photographers join the ranks on a regular basis. Medium format film and above still has little or no match for quality of enlargement.
In this newsletter EO introduces Mike Bonsall from Guernsey (British Isles), Welsh based photographer Riccardo Beghini, Cornish photographer Paul Morgan, Mike Stacey and Neil Paskin from Australia and last but not least, Italian photographer Paolo De Faveri!
We recommend that you often check out the latest additions page on the website!
About Mike Bonsall
Mike is a Guernsey-based landscape photographer known primarily for his images that set out to capture the diversity and constantly evolving beauty of the coastal landscape.
Often working either very early or late in the day, when the light is at its most dramatic and magical, Mike has spent many hundreds of hours searching for the perfect combination of time, tide and light.
Mike has contributed to UK photography magazines such as Outdoor photography.
Mike lives in St Peter Port, Guernsey, British Isles.
About Riccardo Beghini
From a very young age, Riccardo always remembers being a very visual person. While everyone else wanted to be an astronaut or policeman, he had a strange wish to become a TV camera man. Intrigued by the process of capture, as much the captured.
Initially this manifested itself through the craft of painting and illustration, and a growing and evolving fascination with the play of light on familiar things and maybe more so, Its emotional responses.
Riccardo feels a connection with the natural world, reaching far beyond just an interest. The merging of this, with his new found realization of the ability of film to capture such light and detail, was the very inevitable progression to landscape photography.
‘I was and still am, amazed by how natures infinite beauty can provide opportunity for such artful capture, feeling an almost greater buzz when allowing nature to provide for you, as opposed to the artists own personal interpretation. Having said that, the deeper I have explored photography, the less I can distinguish between the creative process of painting with a brush, or one with light’.
It’s the beauty and romance in all of us, that Riccardo Seeks to translate back to the viewer, and himself. Something that maybe rises above the mundane, sending out both environmental and spiritual messages. Only If Riccardo's imagery achieves this, does he see it as a success.
Riccardo lives in Bridgend, Wales, United Kingdom.
About Paul Morgan
Living on the Rame Peninsula, Paul Morgan is able to exploit the beauty of this forgotten corner of Cornwall. The ruggedness of the coastline and amazing coloured skies are what inspire him to capture for others to share the wonders that nature creates.
With a leaning towards atmosphere and mood, Paul tries to get as much drama as he can from an image to really instil the feeling of "being there", which sets his images apart from the norm.
In the future Paul intends to publicise his work more fully with local exhibitions already planned for the year to come.
Paul lives in Torpoint, Cornwall, United Kingdom.
About Mike Stacey
Generally Mike's photographs explore the primary elements of the landscape; sky, earth and water. His compositions are often simple but sensitive and finely crafted, and highlight a sense of timelessness and scale without bounds.
He works with a Horseman large format camera and sometimes a Mamiya medium format camera. Images made from these cameras are of the highest quality and prints can be made very large without substantial loss in quality.
Mike lives in Hazelbrook, NSW, Australia.
About Neil Paskin
As a landscape photographer Neil has had many enjoyable years photographing the beautiful and diverse UK landscape but is now relishing the challenge of capturing his new homeland of Australia.
Seascapes have become Neil's latest passion inspired by the stunning coastline of his new home, the Sunshine Coast in Queensland.
Each print is made to order by Neil himself, this gives him complete control from capture to print and ensuring quality throughout the whole process. They are carefully printed on a Epson 7800 printer on Epson premium Luster paper which Neil believes gives a vibrant finish that shows the image off at its best.
Neil lives in Ninderry, Queensland, Australia.
About Paolo De Faveri
Paolo De Faveri grew up in the beautiful north western Italian region known as Piedmont, a land where nature shows its beauty in many different and constantly changing ways.
The large, calm Po River crossing the Pianura Padana, the Italian widest plain with its enchanted rural sceneries, the glacial lakes at the feet of the Alps, the Monferrato and Langhe hills emerging from the plain like a green, wooden promontory, and finally the majestic setting of the Western Alps, with its 4000 mts. peaks and untouched wild areas.
An area offering infinite photographic subjects that Paolo depicts with his serene, intimate style.
Around dawn and sunset, when light is at its best, are Paolo’s favourite hours to photograph, together with those moments when hard or somehow unusual weather conditions contribute to provide the scene with unique drama and mood.
“My aim is to deliver strong compositions, enticing colours, haunting atmospheres” - Paolo says – “and to depict the innermost beauty of nature by focusing on its essential elements of colours, patterns and textures”.
While keeping his homeland as the main arena for his photography projects, a restless growing passion for landscapes has led Paolo to extensively travel throughout Italy and to regularly visit France and other European countries, always looking for new challenging subjects to capture.
Paolo works indifferently with medium format film and digital cameras. In both cases, he personally manages the entire process from the film scan or RAW file conversion to delivering to the professional laboratory for the final “ready to print” output.
Fine quality prints of all images displayed in this gallery are available with different sizes.
As top quality throughout the entire process is Paolo’s precise commitment, he personally inspects and approves every single reproduction of his photographs.
Paolo lives in Scalenghe, Torino, Italy.
