Bio & Interests
| Biography: | SIMON PLANT Automotive-Life-Location Photographer - HDR IMAGING FOR AUTOMOTIVE CGI RENDERING I was born in Birmingham England in 1967 and raised near Burnham-on-Sea in Somerset. At the age of 19, I borrowed my father's camera and traveled around Greece. This was the very beginning of my interest in photography. It was around 1989, that I came across the photographic work of John Claridge, a world-renowned advertising photographer. His work had a very big impact on me and ultimately inspired me to make photography my Career. In 1990 I started up my own photographic business doing advertising work, and shortly afterwards I received my first big break - shooting Lifestyle images on location for Clark’s shoes. Many assignments followed and I was on my way to becoming a full Professional. Over the years I have photographed a range of people - from heads of Industry to TV celebrities. I have also travelled to many locations that would normally have been inaccessible if it were not for my camera. 2005 saw me change direction and shoot less people based work and concentrate on shooting locations & cars (another passion of mine). Constantly exploring new imaging technologies and developing new techniques I became one of the first car photographers in the UK shooting specialist HDR images for the CGI Rendering of cars. In 2007, I decided to launch my online gallery to cater for the ever-increasing interest that has grown for my work as fine art. In 2008 I started a photographic training website www.prophotoinsights.net which gave a behind the scenes look at professional photo shoots and the retouching that goes into making those images. My work has won many awards and been featured in all the major photographic press in the U.K. and been commissioned and published by many Nationally and Internationally known clients worldwide. A small selection includes. AOL American Airlines Bank Of England British Airways Clarks Shoes Delta Airlines Enviroment Agency Hallmark Headworx Clothing IBM Microsoft Multimedia Publishing Minnesota Orchestra National Geographic. National Rivers Authority Orange Oxford University Press Severn Trent Water Time Magazine Online Welsh Tourist Board Simon lives with his family in the rural South West of England.
