Dan Boulton

Dan Bolton was born in 1973 he uses a leica m6 a 50 mm f/2 for his work which consists of taking black and white images of every day life which on the south bank which is where the skate boarders other hipster style people go. This attracted him to the area where he began experimenting with different size films before settling on 50mm then he had to scrape enough money together to buy a leica camera as this was the one he had decided on.

Dans visual style is a cross between Henri Carter Bresson and Robert Mapplethoupe in the sense that it is in black and white and he focuses on the everyday and that some shots are set up but most aren't. One of his latest project is taking pictures of the south bank and the skate scene there.

This image is 2005-2011
This image is 17-53 of the south bank images. It is un clear what is going on the image but it appears that a shapeless figure is standing infron of the skater.










This image is number 14-57 it depics a skate board flipping in motion this shows how he has captured motion and that he has blurred the motion of the board.








This image is 52-53 it shows a man complete out of focus and his face is completely hidden I think this represents how the skater life style is shared identity with everyone else





My question to Dan Bolton is would you change anything about your style.
