SCOTT YOUNG PHOTOGRAPHY: Credit Valley

Credit Valley

Okay, so I know this blog is Toronto based, but every now and then I happen to get out of the city and explore the countryside. It won't happen often, but I wanted to share a photo or two of a recent day trip Hugh and I made to Belfountain Falls which is part of the Credit Valley River. I wanted to go for a drive in the country to see what kind of shots I could get for my series I'm working on (Surface Deep). I came back with some great reflection shots, but also some rather good (in my mind) shots of the moving water. They feel rather refreshing in my mind.

Enjoy..

ABOUT

My emergence into photography was purely accidental. Formally trained as a Visual Merchandiser for fashion and home decor retailers, I began my love of photography with a simple point and shoot camera while exploring the many streets, neighbourhoods, and green spaces of Toronto in my spare time.

Born in the historic Town Of Cobourg, Ontario, I was early influenced by architecture and history and it remains a strong component of my work today. Photographs from Kingston, Ottawa and Montreal have been added to my collection of Architectural Details.

Perhaps it was because of my career in being a Merchandiser, I soon embraced a second love of colour, pattern, and texture in often random, discarded objects or forgotten corners of the city. Colour combinations, patinas, and items aged by time and weather often catch my eye and make up my second collection.

Finally, my third love. Abstract. again influenced by colour, these photographs are often photographs of graffiti, flowers, and even water that I have altered the zoom while taking the shot. What results is a blending of colours, new patterns, and a great abstract image.

Thank you for visiting my blog, I am very happy you stopped by.
