Photographer: Jonathan Charles  (Karma=5248)
Bristol, UK 
About: Based in the south-west of England, photography / art is my passion though not my main occupation. I have a wide-ranging experience in practical photography including landscapes, portraits, theatre(especially modern dance), and abstract; and with most kinds of equipment and processing - currently I mostly use film cameras and digital processing.
I aim to create pictures which can be appreciated on four levels, the first being an interesting or beautiful subject, the second an abstract design, the third an emotional connection. The forth and deepest is a link to the hidden mythical / spiritual shared consciousness that feeds our dreams. Few viewers may get beyond the first levels but if you spend a little longer looking there is more to see.
Much of my work explores the ideal relationship between mankind and the natural world and female nudes feature especially, partly because they have intrinsic beauty and often for the symbolism of the human in a totally natural state as an observer or participant in a landscape.
I am grateful for any comments or criticisms of my photos about both the technical aspects and your response to the image as a whole image and the idea behind it.
