Karl Blackwell | Views of traveling
I saw Karl's work in Spain this summer and felt compelled to contact him. I love the way that he captures colour and form. But don't take my word for it, this is what The Australian Newspaper (29th Nov 2005) had to say:
'Karl Blackwell, a travel photographer, whose work is featured in top international travel guides including Time Out, BBC, Lonely Planet and Michelin guidebooks plus a host of glossy magazines, has probably lured more people into exploring strange lands with his evocative pictures than any contemporary.
Blackwell came to photography as a child, when travelling each summer with his family through the backblocks of Europe. He had a small camera, a limited budget and a desire to do something more than merely record his holidays.
He refuses to snap indiscriminately, although he spends his life in the world's most picturesque places, including the Seychelles and the Greek island of Santorini. The hallmarks of his pictures are vivid colour and simplicity.
He has exhibited worldwide and is based in both Paris and Andalucia.'
