Higher Searles Down
Photographic Art
After taking a year out to drive to India and back in 1969/70 Glen came to Cornwall where he worked as a commercial photographer, near St Ives. In 1982 itchy feet got the better of him and he set off yet again, with Gill, to drive from top to bottom of the North and South American Continents. As fate would have it, the Falklands war intervened and they became restaurateurs of one sort or another for the next twelve years.
Glen has recently returned to photography and is concentrating on personal interpretations of his own photographs. He gains great satisfaction using a computer which gives him the freedom to interpret the picture in differing ways, unlike straight photography.
Both travel and photography have played a very large part in Glen's life. Different peoples and different places have always fascinated him. With the genes of a Portuguese great grandmother and his love of colour and form, both of which are very important to him, he exploits this in his images and provides a “painterly" feel to his work.
