Philip Castleton
Philip graduated from the University of York in northern England with a degree in Sociology and Psychology (in spite of spending a disproportionate amount of time in the photographic darkroom). He is an accomplished cabinetmaker, plays guitar and piano, and strives to plan his photo assignments around the f1 racing schedule. Philip settled in Toronto, Ontario in 1990.
He has been involved with photography for twenty five years. At sixteen his dad gave him a used Exacta SLR. All nighters in the darkroom were the norm and the infatuation has endured ever since.
Philip is at home whether shooting an industrial complex from a helicopter or arranging the folds of a chintz curtain in a period interior. Basic principles are applied to the seemingly disparate situations; his considered use of light, awareness of form and composition, the determination of viewpoint, results in images that have strong impact and convey the required message.
"Work is still fun, work is still a passion, I can't really imagine retiring from this occupation".
