New Artist Challenge - William Furniss

May 24th, 2020
Many thanks to FotoBlah for hosting the last Artist Challenge, which I had the honour to win so have taken on the mantle of hosting the latest one.

I'm afraid I am not familiar with many photographic artists, and have never studied the classic or modern auteurs, but hope that this British photographer, who is based in Hong Kong, will be inspiration for those who regularly take part in this challenge.

William Furniss is an urbanist and architectural photographer. Born in 1970, he has an engineeering degree, and has had a photography career since 1991 he has assisted Litchfield and O'Neill. Furniss moved to Hong Kong to be a portraitist, but moved on to urban and architectural works, using in camera manipulation and multiple exposures.

I hope the links below will be of interest, and of use, to inspire as lock down is reduced across the world and you are able to go out with your camera and capture your world digitally (or on film!)
