Simon Cowling is an artist who works in the medium of photography. His works veer from striking colour and bold forms, to a more subtle and restrained palette in black & white and monochrome photography. An explorer of pattern, detail and composition, he looks to unearth subtleties of emotions found in both the vibrancy of natural and in man-made environments.
Having studied fine arts and sound arts at OCADU in Toronto, Canada, he applies his fascination and knowledge of differing musical and visual composition techniques to his photography work. Being a lifelong lover of nature and music, he seeks inspiration from the visual and audible spaces of forms, both real and imagined. He has composed music for film and exhibited photography works in the UK and Canada.
Simon has also trained In the Culinary Arts as a Chef, and applies his skills and creativity in the Culinary Arts to his practice and to food photography as well. He currently lives and works in the Hamilton area.
