As said on the home page this is a online portfolio for photographer - graphic artists Gordon Brown and the ugly mug above is me

I studied Multimedia at Falkirk college at HNC level, gaining experience and interest in Photoshop. When I finished college I continued to learn gain more experience in Photoshop creating images using pictures of favourite bands, actresses and sports personalities, this could not work for long as copyright is big issue. I began to look towards photography as way to counter the copyright, if I made my own photos the images would be solely mine.

 

The slight interest became my main interest, my passion for photography overtook my passion for Photoshop. I have photographed many different subjects including landscapes, architecture, sport, martial arts and I have some experience working with models.

 

This site has examples of all the things I have done over the last 5 or 6 years.

For any more information please feel free to contact me via the contacts on the contact page.

Influences

I am influenced by many different people which makes my work unique.

Photography

Rankin - not Ian Rankin the book writer but Rankin the fashion photographer. Back years ago when I was just finding photography I bought a magazine which contained an article on Rankin after reading I began being interested in portrait photography. This grow to the point that I got my first studio.
