John Eastwood
The Artist
John Eastwood
is a Photographic Artist from Stockport who specialises in landscapes
of Cheshire, Derbyshire and the Staffordshire Moorlands, seeking
always the more imaginative perspective. Avoiding the safe, established
postcard clichés so often seen John combines imagination
with an indefinable sense of place, crafting each image by featuring
the texture of the landscape accentuated by season and natural
light, always using a fresh and individual eye.
John is the official photographer of All Saints’ Church,
Daresbury, Cheshire and exhibits across the region at commercial
exhibitions and County/Country Shows. He was commissioned by Halton
Borough Council to design the 2005 Civic Christmas Card. Of his
work, John says:
"Images
of the landscape have fascinated me from a young age. Not the
stereotypical sweeping vistas of the rolling hills and plains,
but the more subtle details that lay hidden within, waiting
to be ‘discovered’ or ‘found’. Sometimes
this can be done using the passage of time and the effect of
weathering on the fabric of the landscape, at other times it
can be achieved using seasonal variations or a change in light
due to weather conditions."
