Myk Briggs is a physicist who has been taking pictures for over 40 years
He has an interest in photography which could be reasonably described
as `broad church' and even possibly obsessive !
He has chased around the world taking pictures of wildlife and in September
1997 visited the Arctic Circle to photograph woodpeckers
In 1999 he lived with an unphotographed jungle tribe in India to document
their lifestyle and has exhibited the results at several venues
A book about the tribe will use his pictures as documentary illustrations
In one of his large studios you may
find him taking very high speed exposures of flying owls or exploding
party poppers, however his main interest
is human photography, be it candid, fashion or figure
He was recently President of Oswestry
Photographic Society.
As a member of the RPS,
he is currently LRPS and pursuing his way up the Society's Distinctions
Some evenings he will be judging photo club work or local artists efforts
An active member of BorderLand Visual Arts - he documents artists work at a discount as part of the Foundation committment to art
Although he mainly uses 35mm, he is experimenting with a 5x4" view
camera and lots of digital paraphenalia including even high speed digital
pinhole images
He recently built a new darkroom for monochrome in spite of mixing his
avid interest in computers with his photography
Recent efforts to use chroma blue and projected backgrounds have brought
forth some unusual images
He has had some work published and you can find many of his pictures on
the Internet
Currently he has virtually forsaken film for the inevitable and inexorable
swing towards the Nikon D1,2 & (X) series.
