David Pattinson

Posting under the Flickr username "travelight", I have recently discovered the photography of David Pattinson. I can't tell if Pattinson is a pro or not - he doesn't seem to have his own website, and all his images seem to be posted straight to Flickr. What is not in doubt is that Pattinson is a hugely talented photographer.

Pattinson uses a Leica M8 - a stunning camera that is far out of my price range, especially with a wedding to pay for - but camera does not maketh photo. It does, however, allow him to "travel light" and no doubt keep his camera on him in situations where I'd have to leave mine at home.

Have a look at his range of noir photography, portraits and amazing control of light.
