Guest Speaker – David Garthwaite

For the first of this season’s guest speakers, we have invited David Garthwaite to talk to us about his techniques for producing fine art architectural images. From capture through to post processing David will give us insight and practical tips on how to get the most from our architectural photography, although his techniques can equally be applied in other genres. 

David Garthwaite is a fine art photographer from Leeds, specialising in B&W landscape architecture, portrait and product photography.

“Growing up in the Industrial North of England has shaped my artistic style, drawing me towards a bleaker and darker outlook of everyday locations. I started photography in 2017 and soon came across the work of Michael Kenna. I was immediately drawn to his minimalist high contrast B&W style.

Later I found the works of Joel Tjintjelaar and the editing style that allowed for greater expression by crafting the luminosity of a scene in a very smooth and realistic way.”
