Victor Steadman
Welcome to this, my photography portfolio.
I am a serious hobbyist who has been taking photographs since my university days, but it’s only since finally retiring five years ago that I’ve been able to give photography the time and focus it deserves.
My interests have for much of the past lain mainly in outdoor photography—landscapes, woodlands, and rural scenes, and this is still my comfort zone. More recently, my increasing care responsibilities at home have prompted me to explore photo opportunities closer to home. I am looking at home-based genres such as macro and still life but I am also discovering the creative and documentary potential of photographing life at Wadswick Green, the retirement village where I live, and its surroundings.
I lead a local photography club for fellow residents and tend towards an experimental ethos as I seek to stay a step ahead of our enthusiastic members. A long-standing interest in technology fuels my enjoyment of post-processing, particularly black and white conversions. Thanks to mentoring and courses with the Royal Photographic Society, I now approach my photography more as a series of thematic projects than as isolated images.
