about ph-pictures

so - you want to know about me? i'll keep it short and simple (like me!)

my name is phil hillman and i'm not a professional photographer.

very few of my pictures are staged, set-up or carefully thought through or planned. instead, i rely on the years of training at the famous 'being-in-the-right-place-at-the-right-time' academy. of course, this does also mean that I've missed countless perfect shots by being in the right place - but at the wrong time too.

my style

i can't say i've a particular photographic style or speciality

it would be nice to provide some artistic justification, or reasoning behind the images, or even to advise you - the casual viewer - to look for

'...the serendipitous nature of the images.'

or how

'...my photos try to seek out the abstraction of reality through perspective.'

...but really! how could i write that sort of stuff and keep a straight face. simply put, if i see something that appeals, i'll shoot at it from various angles and positions. after processing the images i'll determine which ones i think are worth passing on to the world.
