Angus Jenkinson is an award-winning fine art photographer. All photographs are available for license or prints may be purchased. As a fine art photographer I am exploring how personality, form, light, gesture, colour and composition express meanings I appreciate water’s similarity to mind as it illuminates and reflects. Black and white abstracts and emphasises forms in portrait, landscape and figure. My pictures also explore people and their lives. Rocinha favela in Rio de Janeiro is built with tiny breezeblock buildings on a steep hillside originally given to the slaves. It is little better than shanty town dwellings and riddled with drug crime. Yet like the famous beaches of Rio it seems to be full of cheerful creative people. Similarly, people living on the street in Bombay still maintain cheerfulness and courage. India generally is a gorgeous, sublime tragicomic kaleidoscope. I also enjoy the personality of colour, which is now a vital part of contemporary photo artworks. Landscape captures how we see our world, our fragile home, so that each is a kind of nature portrait. Human portraits capture the essence of people, their moods and life situation. Showbiz personalities have a special interest for many (e.g. the World Bear Champion and Big Brovaz), but ‘ordinary people’ are often more interesting, once you divest the face of its celebrity aura. The nude is both an exploration of the aesthetic and meaning of the human form and being. Similarly, I am amazed by the way the silhouette of a person can reveal so much. Sunsets represent the mystical moment, the glory that arises in the threshold of light and dark, day and night consciousness.

Kalbarri is an extraordinary Lake in Western Australia. A tiny microbe that lives in the water produces a red dye, which is used for cosmetics and other chemical industries. The photograph by Angus Jenkinson won a prize in the viewer's choice landscape section for professional photographers in the PX3 competition in 2008. |
