About Richard Perry – Fine Art Photography

Purpose

This website is about introducing you to the world of fine art landscape photography.

My name is Richard Perry; Richard John O’Brien Perry to be precise to differentiate myself from the many other Richard Perry’s out there. Distinguishing, or standing out from the rest is a key feature of this site. There are many photographers out there, some of them excellent. So many in fact, that it can seem daunting even to start the journey. We sometimes feel as if it is going to be hard to compete with such talent. But, competing to produce technically superior images is not the aim. It is about finding our VOICE and knowing how to express it, once we know what to say.

So while this site demonstrates techniques, the purpose is not to help you produce sharp images of fuzzy concepts. Instead, it is that you are able to produce conceptually sharp images full of meaning and intent.

Topics will be many and varied but focus on following a workflow from pre-shoot, shoot and post-shoot. Ultimately the aim is to help you sharpen up those fuzzy concepts to produce stunning, meaningful images.

How

We’ll be doing this through Features – In-depth articles teaching about specific techniques or concepts, Quick Tips – smaller articles about a single, Blog – walkthroughs of how photos were made, and Links – to other interesting resources. I’ll be aiming to post “low frequency, high amplitude”, or in other words concentrating on quality over quantity.

Inspirations

Enough about the website, how about me? Well my photography is mainly self-taught with a fair bit of reading or watching others and a smattering of workshops given by the likes of Bobbi Lane (Lighting), David Nightingale (Landscape), David Hobby (Strobes), Manny Librodo (Glamour), Parc Cruz (Portrait), Raymond Cruz (Landscape), and Richard Allenby-Pratt (Portfolio). Finally a word of thanks to Josh Dunlop for helping to get this site up and running and for reminding me to focus on setting clear goals.
