All About John Margetts

I am primarily a landscape photographer inspired by man's effect on the landscape. I mostly work with digital capture, but I still use film for black and white, particularly very textured scenes.


An early focus of my interest in photography was the relics of the Cornish mining heritage in their rural environment. I am still very interested in the impact of human activity in the landscape. Now I really enjoy the juxtaposition of rural and urban in my life as I live in the city of Lincoln but also have several countryside interests. My work reflects this. My photography is split between old fashioned film photography and modern digital - both have their advantages and their weaknesses. I also split my work between monochrome and colour. I try to appeal to the emotions in many images but also to stimulate your mind with others. I am holding an exhibition of my photographs in March - Monday 8th to Sunday 14th - at Gallery at St Martins, St Martins Square, Hungate Lincoln. Times are 10.00 to 5.00, entry free.
