Darren Hepburn 'Things in Woods'













Photos copyright Darren Hepburn 2010
invited by B. Rowland

For several years I've seen Darren's photos and it is a great pleasure to present some of his images. I see his work as contemplative, intuitive, poetic, personal and, most of all, understated. There is a strong sense of the presence of the photographer's mind and sensibility with each image.
I asked Darren how he got started with photography and what his photo "process" consists of and he responded:

"Ever since I won my first camera at Broxburn fairground in 1983 (a moment of elation amongst the candyfloss, toffee apples and hot donuts!) photography, for me, has been a journey into process and concept. The process I regard as a ‘means to an end’, a ‘vehicle’ to get from the concept to the final image. I usually work within a preplanned this conceptual ‘framework’, both for individual shots and series. This is worked out beforehand, often over numerous cups of tea. I’m constantly referring to this ‘framework’ whether it is a still life ‘construction’ or photographing in the street. Now, 27 years after I won that little camera, I have to say that 1983 was a good year for mephotography has been a journey with as many offshoots as a grape vine, and has yielded many ‘grapes’ to nourish me along the way."

I think it was a very lucky day for photography when Darren won his camera !

Hi there,

I was searching the Internet for sites with content directly related to Photography, and found your 591PhotographyBlog. I must admit that I’ve just loved all of your pictures, they look awesome! I also like the way your content is organized, with a great resource of images.

The main reason I’m contacting you is because I'm a relationship manager at a leading website for art school research, and since our sites attract basically the same type of users, I thought I’d get in touch with you about possibly promoting our website to your users. We are trying to present our page to a larger number of people, with the hope of attracting new users that could get interested on our content, since our site's goal is to give prospective students the tools to make informed choices about their education.

I feel that we can be a valuable resource for them, and I would be delighted if you could place a link to http://www.findyourartschool.com/ep/photography-schools.php on any area of your website. In particular, it would be helpful if you could place this link within the text ‘Photography Schools’, so that if people are interested on getting info on this type of schools, they know exactly where to go! Considering the relevancy and high quality shown at 591Photography.com, the link placement would be highly appreciated.

Please let me know your thoughts or questions, and feel free to contact me directly via email at kimberly@findyourartschool.com. We're more than happy to tell you more about FindYourArtSchool and provide any follow up detail.

Thanks a lot for your consideration!
Very Best Regards!
