Keith Bossard

In the eighties I became a member of the photography ‘advanced studies group’ at Missenden Abbey for over a decade. The ASG was a small group of photographers under the guidance of the Canadian photographer and educator Brian Nevitt. There I learnt to refine the art of seeing and the possibilities of depth and rich tonality in black and white prints. My darkroom still waits at the top of the house while I embraces the digital world and its disciplines. I enjoy travel but often return to the Surrey Hills and the Sussex and Cornish coasts for their landscapes and continue to indulge my love of found objects, still-life and abstract composition. I believe that any camera can be a tool to create inspired work and use the square format, making my images in black and white using light, line and tone for their ability to stir visual emotion in the viewer.
