Ed Dear Fotografi

I am a long time resident of Sydney’s Northern Beaches and I am very passionate about my photography; I started out in 1975 with a 35mm film SLR and I have been into digital photography since 2010.

I spend over 20 hours per week studying photography and post processing. I have a number of books by Scott Kelby and I decided that he was going to be my mentor, I have never stopped learning. I love to learn new photography or retouching techniques.

My interests are sunrises, the urban landscape and street photography and anything else I find eye catching, unusual or interesting, including photographs of buildings; commercial/residential, old, new and iconic.

Some of my photos are heavily retouched, some not. What matters to me is the emotional impact, do people get something out of it or not?

I retouch most of my photos with Lightroom, and Photoshop.

I think that creating images for people to enjoy is the most amazing job in the world :-)
