Ian Watts is a UK based commercial and travel stock photographer. His commercial work encompasses fashion, event, PR, brochure and film stills photography. He also occasionally undertakes work in the field of architectural/interior design photography. His travel stock photography is focussed on a contemporary, often playful interpretation of the world and has been published both in the UK and overseas. Eschewing artifice in favour of a more naturalistic result, Ian's approach favours a strong and dynamic composition based on the interplay of elements - light and shadow, colour and form. Ian's work is often less about the subject per se and more about mood, atmosphere and feeling. From a technical point of view, his working methods involve a subtle and restrained use of artificial lighting, a rejection of special effects and a preference for more 'normal' photographic perspectives. Ian is happy to work using digital or traditional film capture.
