John Wimberley
The photographer John Wimberley makes fabulous black and white pictures of nature, landscapes and figurative photos.
John Wimberley's photographs are populated by an abundance of pictorial elements: clouds, rocks, ravens, stones, mists, trees, grains of sand, feet; and it's extraordinary how he repeatedly gets these elements to work in his photographs. Sand grains line up perfectly to mirror ripples of light in the clouds above. A cloud in one corner of a photograph echoes the form of a tree branch in the corner opposite. Clouds in another photograph compliantly rise from the rooftop vent of a shepherd's wagon. And, where it would be rare for a raven to be seen sitting on a rock, there are two ravens in that photograph.






Comments
Just after you posted this - I showed John's work to the "other half" (a graphic designer)and my eldest (who's doing photography in college). There's now an argument going on as to whether the pics are photophoped..
I know they aren't and so does eldest, but other half thinks they could be.
But she knows nothing about "traditional" photography!!
