About Peter Lloyd

Peter Lloyd I like to photograph a wide variety of subjects and, in some cases, have taken advantage of the creative opportunity to digitally manipulate images to achieve enhanced artistic effects. Many of these I call 'psychedelic' and I hope to be posting more of them on a regular basis.

Soon after photography was invented someone wittily described it as a "pho (foe) to graphic art", playing on fears that this new recording medium would replace the need for artists and put them out of business. This was, of course, nonsense.

Although a camera records what is in front of its lens and an artist records what he or she sees (when not relying purely on memory or imagination), the processes are quite different. The one (by "machine") is more literal and, perhaps, faithful (but subject to the creative abilities of the photographer e.g.in choosing the camera,lens,subject,lighting conditions, angle, composition etc. and,afterwards, post - processing the recorded image which, if digital, gives the photographer very considerable creative scope to improve and manipulate it according to his or her artistic taste) whereas the other (by/through a human) is not so much literal as an "interpretation" processed directly by the artist's mind (and soul!) and according to his or her skill and artistry.

In either case, the "end product" has relied heavily on human agency and, therefore, has a large subjective element (reflecting the mind of the artist or photographer involved in its creation). The "creation" of the work brings its own satisfaction, which is an end in itself. It is a bonus for the artist/photographer if the beholder of the work "sees" in it what the artist/photographer has attempted to communicate.

I hope that you will enjoy looking at these pictures and that I have been able to convey something of the beauty, grandeur or other qualities of the subject that inspired me to compose and take the shot.

If you choose to purchase a print of any image you particularly like, I trust that it will give you as much pleasure as it will have certainly given me in its creation.
