Photographer, Guy Sargent from West London gives us a taste of his amazing skill to capture the stillness of a landscape as well as the splendour and grandness of some of today’s architecture. ‘What lies beneath the surface’ displays, from across Europe, landscapes as their creator intended – natural, untamed and free from the impact of humankind. From the following interview you will begin to get a feel for Sargent’s passion for his profession, “There are elements of romanticism, the spiritual & political in this work. In a way I just want to say as much as I can using as little information as possible.”
Guy Sargent has an uncanny knack for capturing feeling in his work; whether it be the quiet calmness and serenity of an undisturbed, rocky English shore – or the humbled, awe inspired feeling when one stands in the shadow of the Grande Arche…
Tell us a little about yourself, where are you from and where are you living now?
Born in 1965 I’m originally from Hertfordshire in the UK but now live in West London.
At what age did your interest in photography develop? (Pardon the pun)
At age 14 I was given a Kodak EK6 instant film camera for my birthday but I could rarely afford the film so it didn’t get much use. Later on I bought a Praktica SLR, quickly followed by black & white darkroom equipment…
What photographers/photographs have inspired you?
When it comes to inspiration I have to admit that painters play a much bigger role than photographers, Velasquez, Turner, de Hooch and others. Although I admire the work of hundreds of photographers the one that stays with me the most is Bill Brandt, his surrealist leanings and sense of detachment constantly inform me.
Did you go to a photography school or take a course in photography? Or are you self taught?
I’m completely self-taught, lots of experimentation, reading of books etc.
Once you have an understanding of the basic stuff like f-stops the camera becomes like any other tool, you just move on to the important stuff, composition, lighting, and philosophy…
Where are the majority of your photographs captured?
The photographs in my current portfolio are for the most part all taken in the UK. Others are from short trips to Paris, Venice and most recently Sicily.
What type of assignments do you prefer?
The ones that rarely, if ever happen like go and photograph anything you would like to!
I particularly liked your ‘what lies beneath the surface’ series, can you tell us the story behind this project?
In early 2006 my attitude to making photographs shifted from the mechanical/observational way of doing things and I began to introduce philosophy and a more rigorous discipline. It’s a tough one to answer fully as I am aware that my vision is changing as I seek to extend it constantly.
There are elements of romanticism, the spiritual & political in this work.
In a way I just want to say as much as I can using as little information as possible.
What is the worst thing about being a professional photographer?
I haven’t always been able to work full time as a photographer so I don’t see much bad in it.
And the best?
Being involved every day with something you love doing is priceless!
How would one go about becoming a professional photographer? Any advice for those would be photographers?
If I were young and felt strongly about it I would go to college, assist and learn all aspects of it from the commercial business side to the ever growing art side.
If I were middle aged like me I’d make sure I believed strongly in my own work and do just what the worlds greatest living artist told me to do… “Trust yourself”.

Nice blog here! Also your web site loads up very fast! What web host are you using? Can I get your affiliate link to your host? I wish my web site loaded up as fast as yours lol
這篇真的寫得很有道理，前面提到的「需求」、「偏好」、「可承受的成本」可以算是去評斷、選擇一個軟體的通則了。之前的﹝Win﹞＋﹝R﹞技巧也讓我獲益良多。所以我也分享一下自己選擇「快速啟動」工具的想法：需求：要能快速啟動常用的程序、文件和目錄。最好在設定上是很方便簡單的，因為常用列表會常常變動。偏好：我喜歡漂亮的介面，友好的介面用起來感覺就是不一樣，速度上慢一點沒關係（我的意思不是效能延遲，而是整個操作過程不一定是最快的）。另外我也不希望有太多我需要去記住的東西，最好是可視的或直覺的。可承受的成本：對於較高的記憶體佔用，只要不會造成「實際上」系統延遲的結果的話我都可以接受。複雜的設定只要可以備份也是可以接受的。簡陋的介面只要設計上有創意我也會喜歡。但是如果是上述相反的那面的話就無法承受了。所以整體來說我目前比較喜歡Launchy或Magic Formation。不過只要符合上述需求，其實我也常常變心的^^

Well, if that doesn’t beat all. . . .I’ve been noticing that for the last three months since I opted out (and KEPT my analog meter), that my electricity bill — not including the outrageous opt-out surcharge — has increased by a consistent 60 percent over the same months of the previous year. Yet my actual usage each month has, if anything, DECREASED since last year.If we win the lawsuit against the PUC, will we be eligible for a REFUND of the money taken from us for the opt-out fees?
