My thoughts on digital imaging.

This is the first of many entries into my exploration of digital imaging, b y keeping a  blog  I’m hoping to document my progress as I learn about the different thought processes and techniques involved in digital imaging. Being born in ’87 means that my early memories of photography are pre digital. My fascination with photography stems from my dad’s enjoyment of it, along with the boxes of printed photos and negative film filling up various cupboards.  If we look even before the digital photography boom artists were using a blend of traditional, hands on photography and computer power to develop new techniques and images.  Two of my personal favourite artists are Strom Thorgerson and Erik Johansson .  Strom created album and single artwork for a long list of the world’s biggest bands including Genesis, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Muse and Biffy Clyro before his passing in 2013. He would create surreal and thought-provoking images using a variety of graphic techniques. For Peter Gabri
