Oliver Wood, Art Photography. Prestbury, Cheshire, UK. 1999-2010

Overview

Oliver Wood is a Manchester & Prestbury, Cheshire, UK based creative photographer with an interest in art photography and now mostly working in digital media. I like to think that my photography reflects a certain fascination for a transcendent quality of simple and pure tectonic forms but it's not all about shapes.

Intensely introspective sense impressions, some experimentation and a Zen like feeling for light, space, time and place all play a part in my photographic motivation. Minor White has been a significant inspiration for my art photography, there is a shared interest in the magical qualities of recorded images.

A very receptive state of mind --- not unlike a sheet of film itself - seemingly inert, yet so sensitive that a fraction of a second's exposure conceives a life in it." Minor White Art Photography pioneer c 1950
