The Rain in Spain.

October 6, 2015 by Phil Kneen Photography

October 4th, Rellue, Spain – After an epic, almost none stop, 600 mile drive from my parents in France on Sunday we arrived in southern Spain. Friends from the Isle of Man have a villa rented for two weeks in the small mountain village of Rellue, just north of Benidorm. I’ve done the drive south across Spain from San Sebastian to Valencia a few times now and the landscape seems to get more vast every time I do it. The […]

“It’s not the camera…”

June 22, 2015 by Phil Kneen Photography

“It’s not the camera that makes the photograph, it’s the photographer” – or is it? I recently read an article in The British Journal of Photography… it was an interview with Magnum photojournalist, Raymond Depardon. The veteran French photographer – now in his early 70s – was asked, “What are your fears now?” His answer surprised me, considering he is rated as an A-lister in the world of photography… but, at the same time, I totally related to it. “As […]

The Wall

June 19, 2015 by Phil Kneen Photography

I like walls… I don’t know what else to say about that really? Walls are great for holding roofs up and putting doors and windows in, but on a more personal level, I like walls because they make great backdrops for portraits. Walls also prevent my subjects from running away in the opposite direction.

Shake it like a Polaroid picture…

June 5, 2015 by Phil Kneen Photography

I sent a batch of films off to be developed in Germany about three weeks ago – they were supposed to be developed and scanned, the negatives hermetically stored and the high-resolution files emailed back to me, all within 10 working days. This has not been the case. This isn’t the kind of tardy, lacklustre performance I’d expect from our super-efficient Euro-neighbours, but then I realised that half the population of Germany are here on the Isle of Man, watching […]

A Trip down Memory Lane

May 28, 2015 by Phil Kneen Photography

I began my professional photography career in 1987, the job was advertised as ‘Entertainment and Nightclub Photographer’ and it stated, quite clearly, that applicants must be over the age of 21 – I was 17 at the time, but applied anyway, lied about my age and experience and got the job. The Isle of Man was a very different place in 1987 – every other building on Douglas promenade was a hotel, guesthouse or pub, and in the summer the […]

‘horses for courses…

May 22, 2015 by Phil Kneen Photography

Both the images above of musician, Mae Challis, were made using a digital Canon EOS 5DmkIII and 50mm f1.0 lens – a lot of people think I’ve got this whole ‘anti-digital’ thing going-on – I haven’t, if I shot all my work, personal and commercial, on film I’d be bankrupt within about a week! I think people mistake digital and film photography as being the same medium, but it’s like saying pens and pencils are the same – they look […]

Girls

March 9, 2015 by Phil Kneen Photography

I’m mad busy at the moment, so I thought I’d just post a few of my favourite images from the last week or so. I’ve photographed a lot of ladies, from 18 months old to my 95-year-old grandmother on her birthday. Variation – it’s what I love about being a portrait photographer! All the shots below were made using film, I’m shooting with an old Pentax SP1000 and a Nikon FM2, both of which have light leaks that I don’t […]

Joanne

February 27, 2015 by Phil Kneen Photography

It really pains me that I can’t share these images of the stunningly beautiful, Joanne, on the social media platform that is Facebook, because the merest glimpse of a nipple can send some people scrambling for their ‘report’ tab faster than they get to church every Sunday. So here they are. The top image was shot on film using an old Pentax SP1000, which I now realise has a light leak, but I think it adds to the look? The […]
