Inspired by Flowers |
|
Richard’s current exhibition, Inspired by Flowers would seem to be totally at odds with his love of movement, but he feels that there is tremendous motion and vibrancy in the apparent stillness of flowers and their endless visual mood changes over a period of photography. Another challenge when asked to do this exhibition was to attempt to avoid the visual cliches often associated with ‘flower photography’.
Inspired by Flowers , continues at Petersham Nurseries, Richmond through February 2008 and is included in the IPG Gallery Battle, end of year show.
London based lifestyle photographer Richard Dunkley has worked in The UK, Europe and the US for nearly thirty years.
A graduate of The London Film School, Richard spent much of the 80s and 90s working in New York on a wide range of editorial and advertising clients and developing an ongoing passion for working in the field of contemporary dance. His film background and love of movement in his pictures resulted in his 2006 exhibition, Move, a 60 picture show at the IPG Gallery, featuring exclusively modern dancers and athletes. Richard’s dance imagery, self choreographed in collaboration with the dancers and choreographers, has been used extensively in magazines and numerous advertising campaigns, including De Beers, and ING and Lloyds Banks, and for posters in Ikea and other worldwide outlets.
Richard Dunkley has won numerous awards for his work including the New York One Club Gold for advertising photography, Tokyo Art Directors Club, The American Retailers Association for advertising photography, New York Photo district News and American Photographer. |
