Mick Yates

Profile

I like to travel and used to paint and draw. Maybe my head is still in the 60’s of my youth. My wife and I (and the kids) try to do something about the people of this world that aren’t as lucky as us.

My photography? I have used Nikon for 25 years, and have been all digital since the D1. My best work is eclectic, and depends on the mood. I like to find character and love colour – but I also enjoy the strength in form and composition of black and white.

If I have any kind of “vision”, it is about a “sense of place or personality” – who, what, where, when.

I am a longtime devotee of Photoshop, not to enhance but to extend photography into the world of painting. And I also like to use words to explain and confirm.
