Charles Milligan is celebrating his 30th year as a
professional photographer. He has travelled the world capturing beautiful and
memorable images for both his clients and his personal collection.
His recents works are limited edition silver bromide
and fine art ciclee prints of landscapes, still life and nudes. Charles lives
in Sydenham. |
Charles milligan has worked in London as a freelance
photographer for the last thirty years. He grew up and went to school in Dorset
and in 1970 travelled to London to study photography at the London College of
Printing. After a short - and somewhat disasterous - spell in the world of
advertising, he turned his attentions to the field of reportage photography and
photojournalism.
Throughout the late Seventies and the heady days of the
Eighties he ran a busy studio in Clerkenwell shooting picture stories for the
Illustrated London News and The Times as well as taking commissions from
publishing groups, design consultancies, corporations and various
organisations. He has worked extensively in Europe and has travelled to North
America, the Gulf States and south Africa. Charles continues to work from his
studio in South London.
Whilst embracing new forms of digital photography he
has an enduring love for the traditional black and white photography that he
was brought up with and that has survived for more than a hundred years.
This exhibition reflects his passion for these
beautiful old processes which are capable of producing images of great depth,
colour and sublety. Unlike the digital image, essentially a computerised
process and thus entireably predictable, these photographs are based on
chemical and organic processes which are subject to all sorts of variations,
ensuring that each print is unique.
