Shutter Speed/Abstract - Chris Friel


Chris Friel is a colour blind, British painter who recently turned to photography in 2006.  Chris has been shortlisted for Sunday Times Landscape Photographer of the Year on many occasions.

When I first came across Chris Friels's photography I was completely blown away! His images are very atmospheric and have an ethereal feel to them.  They are breathtaking and captivating - Chris has managed to master the art of innovation and creativity with his images.
Using very long shutter speed, ND filters, Tilt Shift lenses and intentional camera movement, Chris manages to create unique masterpieces, which look absolutely stunning and very much like paintings. 

Looking through his images has certainly inspired me to try and emulate some of his techniques to achieve results which may be of a similar nature.
For someone who's drawn to landscape, colours, movement and shape I am completely mesmerised by his images! 

The intensity of colours, the softness of the texture and the abstract nature of the images are pretty awe-inspiring and certainly feel very special.
