ENTRY DESCRIPTION
My 15 year old Granddaughter asked me to take some photo's of her on the evening of her prom at the end of her school year.
This shot is her, in the centre and two of her friends as they are leaving to attend at a local hotel where they will join the rest of her school year for the evening.
The girls are in the back seat of my Granddaughters other Grandfathers' American Mercury Meteor classic car, as they prepare themselves to look their best on this very important evening in their young lives.
AUTHOR
Don Hooper, Bristol based Wildlife and Landscape photographer with over 40 years’ experience, International Multi Award Winning and widely recognised within the industry; receiving accolades in London, Paris, Moscow, Berlin, Budapest, Tokyo, New York and across America. Specialising mainly in Black and White, his interest in the world of photography began in 1979 when he purchased his first SLR camera. He’s since never looked back!
His world as we see it through the lens, captures life in a contemporary form; exposing the sensitivity and beauty nature possesses. With the intention of fabricating both stillness and movement within his shots, Hooper over the years has built a diverse body of work where his creative flare and eye for the bewildering shines through. Combining his passion for art, he also develops a variety of his photo’s into Fine Art Giclee Prints; mimicking the look of silhouettes in a highly contrasted and atmospheric fashion. Fulfilled with just his camera, an open landscape and the possibility of capturing just one great shot, Hooper thrives on the chance of seizing a single moment in time where no photo can ever be the same. Encapsulating an overall sense of calm just like Don Hooper himself!
