Inspirational Photography by Rupert Davis

'Letting the moment speak for itself...'

Standing on a train platform in England, 2004, I had the strongest sense to buy a camera, so I bought a disposable camera and just about made it onto my train… Since then my photography has continued to be an intuitive and naturally evolving expression.  I've always had a passion for travel and for exploring my surroundings, both familiar and new ones.  The photography and travel have gone hand-in-hand, leading me into adventures such as trekking through the Altai mountains in Siberia, living with local families in the Peruvian Andes, hiking in Yosemite and staying with the aboriginal community that lives next to Uluru in Australia.  I travel to some amazing places, but some of the pictures are also taken walking along the road I live on, the park around the corner.

My thing is beauty, and the soul within everything.  I love to capture what feels like the essence of something, that which gives it life, uniqueness, and it’s own beauty, whether it is a tree, a building or a person.  I stand back and let this life essence fill the camera. By showing us that there is beauty and soul in the things around us - whether that is in falling snow or city lights - the pictures provide a reflection of the same beauty and soul within us.
