Hi, my name is Geoff Powell. I've been a photographer for over 50 years. I've used virtually every type of camera, from wet plate to digital. I still believe that the print, whether in a book or on fine art paper, is the end product of photography.

Styles I aim for,

I want to create art that is more emotional and soulful than the sharply coloured pictures of girls in lingerie with uninteresting expressions that are common on this site. I aim for art-based imagery, abstract femininity, abstract erotica, story telling, and Hollywood-style portraits from the 50's era. Producing a soft, grainy painterly effect by pushing the focus out of focus. I like grain, softness, and creating a look of reality. 

What I don't like.

Images that are too sharp and saturated, with lingerie-clad models grinning and staring at the camera. People who comment on imagery by saying 'amazing'  when the image is far from amazing. People who don't title images; even Van Gogh titled all his paintings.
