Photography Blog
Welcome to John Gilchrist Photography Blogspot.
Some people are said to have an ''Eye'' for a photograph, I believe it’s more about practice, persistence and passion! Over the years, I really have stuck my nose into photography and have always kept myself firmly on the photography learning curve. I think I can safely say that it is something I will never leave! I prefer a more relaxed approach to photography. Photos are often taken at locations such as local parks or nearby locations in or around Edinburgh and Midlothian.
Ensuring that my subjects are comfortable and enjoying themselves is a vital part of each shoot. My passion is photography. To capture that shot that I want, so I can treasure it forever. To grab the spark in a special moment, an event or someone you love so you can hold it for a lifetime. The great thing about photography is that the subject can be open. I could get lost in creating a fantasy piece or photograph
Content is King
A great story is personal, I will do my best to keep you up to date and amused with fresh material. Look out for links, some images may open up or redirect to support or build on what’s there. To contact me, please drop me a line via the contact form.
- .... what will you find here?
Good question, well to be truthful I do not know! Thought I would start by placing at least one image every couple of months in this area. It could be a favourite image from a recently taken compilation, even a little bit of something that simply takes my fancy, or maybe a not so new image from days gone by.
a unique collection of handpicked images
I will try to put in some up to date news mixed with various latest work and the odd opinion and view. It will be a “hodgepodge” of content so this does mean irregularity; do not expect continuity to flow, inconsistency is the key here. If nothing else, just skip the blurb and scroll through the images. The principal use of this blog is to focus on photographs rather than text; I will attempt to drop in a line or two to describe some background information about the photograph and some aspects of artistic expression. There is no doubt about it a photo blog helps conserve the memories. It’s nice to flick through my shared photographs and recollect a few key moments from time gone by.
