Welcome to the website and online gallery of North West based, accredited, published and award winning amateur photographer Phil Durkin DPAGB BPE4
Here you’ll discover a collection of the genres Phil is most passionate about — from dramatic long and extreme long exposure striking, minimalist and surreal seascapes, atmospheric landscapes plus a little architectural photography.
Phil’s love of photography began in his early 30s, back in the days of film photography. As family life evolved and his two children grew up to begin lives of their own, more time, money and freedom have allowed him to fully reconnect with the craft. Today, his approach is more considered than ever. Rather than chasing quantity, Phil focuses on capturing moments where light, composition and atmosphere come together perfectly. And, as every land and seascape photographer knows, sometimes nature simply doesn’t cooperate — but that’s all part of the experience.
Phil is a long-standing member of the Bolton Camera Club.
Gear: Canon EOS R5 | Canon L Series Lenses from 16mm to 400mm | Benro UK Carbon Fibre Tripod | Neewer TH15 Geared Head | Lee Filters - 100mm system
