Urban photography by Stuart Allen

For me, the thrill in photography is chasing that unusual subject, composing it in the viewfinder, and pressing the shutter. I also get excitement from first seeing my images on the monitor, as I did in the past with film, seeing my prints come to life in the darkroom. I do make basic enhancements to colour and contrast, but rarely perform any complex editing, and never use composite images. All of my images are essentially as seen through the viewfinder.
