Douglas Lowe's photostream

I have been a photographer for only a few years now, though I've been interested in photography since I was quite young.

I would describe my early work as experimental. Testing the parameters of what my camera can do, and what I can do with my camera. Then I moved into landscape photography, which branched out into my interest in IR, or "infrared, photography. I would consider infrared a specialty of mine, because of the amount of time I've spent developing it as a style. My most popular piece, an infrared photo named "China Garden", was featured in the UK magazine "What Digital Camera?”.

Recently I have been showing an interest in portrait photography. I was a little apprehensive about getting into this type of photography in the beginning, due to the level of difficulty that it can sometimes be. Lighting, pose, environment, theme. To me, there are many more things that have to be put into consideration in portrait photography. Someday I hope to be able to effortlessly make people look beautiful. Until then, I will spend time trying to develop my technique and skill.
