Artist challenge- Andrew S Gray

May 10th, 2022
Lets play and have fun with colour and icm, layers and blend modes for the new artist challenge!

. Andy Gray is a contemporary Impressionist / Abstract Style Landscape Photographer based in Northumberland, UK

to quote from his website

"Inspired by the paintings of the old English masters with a mix of camera techniques and post processing I have developed these painterly impressionist images of both recognisable and abstract scenes into a style that goes beyond what many consider photography"

He is very generous with his youtube videos showing how he shoots and processes his photos

he specifically uses Photoshop and Nik suite , however any program in which you can layer images, or even use multiple exposures in-camera will work, or just do a single icm image and play with the post processing in your favorite software to your hearts content!

If you dont have an ND filter to lengthen the exposure time you can shoot in low-light with a small aperture such as at blue hour , hold some sunglasses in front of your lens as you shoot, or google search and follow any number of DIY ND filter how-tos , or Pinhole how-tos.





the dates for this challenge are 10th May -30th May

You are probably working on short-listing the huge number of entries here but just in case you have forgotten - the challenge is now over! (doing the Weekly SH*T list and I try to send reminders as required)
