Chris Gomersall
Fine Bird Photographer
Summary
Wildlife and Bird photographer Chris Gomersall sits down with FotoTV to discuss his beginnings in zoology and photography as well as share his perspectives and personal insight to field photography.
With over twenty years experience he has been a staff photographer of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. During today’s film, Gomersall passes on his experiences and philosophy about equipment and field techniques. Photography clearly is his passion, which is why he has remained with the same camera manufacturer for most of his professional career, Nikon. Gomersall explains he would rather not to immerse himself in the technical aspects of taking pictures, as the art of photography is what drives him. To Gomersall, it is all about getting out into the field and photographing what you see, photographing what is there. He notes, “The more time you spend in the field, the better your photography will be. You definitely cannot achieve much staying indoors grumbling about bad weather.”
