May 2020 and we are in lockdown (Covid-19) / by richard bentley

The summer is here in Qatar. This usually means that the photography season is over - well, at least outdoors photography.

During the hot and humid summer months, I change direction radically. From the lines of the architect and the skies above us in my architecture work of Qatar to more introspective, conceptual and some might say ‘fine art’ photography (although I have always found this to be a slightly pretentious and overly used term).

Lockdown during this awful pandemic coronavirus has meant I have had some time to focus on getting back cowriting this blog and focussing (pun intended) on the other side of my photography.

The purchase of a 102 megapixel medium format camera also means I can now produce both kinds of work in resolutions only once dreamt of.

Thanks for stopping by,

Richard.
