Graham - BrearleyPhoto's photostream  

A Yorkshireman by birth, happily transplanted to the San Francisco bay area since 1996, I had a career in high-technology marketing and management before returning to photography as a professional.

I first held a camera (127, square format, twin lens reflex, I think!) on my father's knee. I got his love of photography and he passed on the fascination of seeing an image appear from nowhere in the darkroom. I Went digital in the '90s and have not looked back.


I have taught many people - most usually in 1 on 1 sessions - how to make a great image (rather than a snapshot), how to 'develop' their images to show the work at its best (I use Adobe Lightroom, with support from Photoshop, Photomatix, etc for some images). I also teach workflow and color management)

I love working with, and making pictures of, people, nature and aircraft. I love studio work and the street events in the San Francisco Bay area provide a rich vein to tap, with unparalleled nature close by.
