Jon Brackpool Photography

I first became interested in photography as a child having been given various 110 format film cameras by my parents. My interest was inspired further as I watched my father build up an impressive collection of lenses for his Canon AE1, although I was rarely allowed to use this amazing piece of equipment.

In later years my career and family life moved photography from a hobby to a pastime, the usual holiday snaps and pictures of the children growing older. Even so, I have literally hundreds of pictures filed away in albums and drawers, so the interest was obviously not completely dead.

In the late 1990's I joined the digital revolution in photography working my way through a number of compacts until finally getting a Fuji S5000 shortly after it was released. That camera was a real eye opener so to speak and all of a sudden the passion was back!
