the Atrium
Steve is from Shelfield, near Walsall, gained an appreciation of art whist attending The Shelfield School, and light and colour has fascinated him ever since. He first began taking photos when he was 10, with a Kodak Instamatic, which his father bought him. Steve trained at the West Bromwich Photography College in the early 1980's and went on to become a professional advertising photographer, working for several years in the West Midlands before becoming 'fed up' with fulfilling everyone's photographic ideas, apart from his own......... though he didn't get around to picking up a camera for over a decade after leaving professional photography. He resumed taking photos about 9 years ago, he also started painting. Many of Steve's photographs tend towards abstract, concentrating on shape, light and dark and how they relate to one another. Steve said; "I don't often 'do' pretty sunsets, but try to show another side of the world around us, that is often over-looked. Whilst I have shown my paintings locally, this is only the second public showing of my photographs". Steve Moseley is exhibiting his work from 30th October until 5th December 2009.
