| Growing
up in the south coast of England, with the New Forest on his doorstep,
Adam Burton's photographic interest began with a passion for his unique
natural surroundings. This love of the natural world enabled Adam to
develop a photographic style which was dedicated to capturing the essence
of wild and rural landscapes.
His photographs are
instantly recognisable with their rich, vibrant yet natural colours and
captivating compositions, each conveying the delicate beauty of the
environment in which they are taken. While temperate landscapes and
moody seascapes are undoubtedly his favourite subjects, he also enjoys
the more intimate close up subjects, which provide a challenging change
to his familiar style. |

| Despite capturing many images on this trip, it has only been in the last
4
years that Adam has started taking photography seriously. During this
time, he has read many articles in books and magazines, putting into
practice the knowledge he has gained along the way. He has no formal
training or qualifications.
His favourite time to photograph is at dawn when the light is magical and the landscape quiet. “This is the time when I feel most alive. To be in a remote, beautiful location with nothing but the wildlife as companions is so invigorating for me – a world apart from the hustle and bustle of daily life. To witness the beauty of these moments, and to have the opportunity to capture a little of it on film continually inspires me”. The Hampshire and Dorset areas have provided him with many photographic opportunities to capture dramatic coastlines, carpets of bluebells, misty mornings, stunning sunsets and much more. In addition to his English portfolio Adam has built up extensive collections of images from Scotland, Norway, North America and New Zealand. In 2007 Adam was awarded Amateur Travel (Landscape) Photographer of the Year by Wanderlust travel magazine. His prize will be a photographic commission to Antarctica in late 2007. |
