Paul Knights
...an amateur filmmaker from the Isle of Wight, UK, with a passion for a cross-section of subjects including nature, water sports and human interest.
'Taking photos, since a youngster in the 70's when I borrowed my dad's old 35mm camera, photography has stayed with me ever since - more as a pastime than as a profession. I did however spend six years working as a professional black & white photographic printer picking up the 'Ilford Young Printer of the Year Award' in 1988!
The 'digital revolution' marked the end of the traditional 'wet' photographic process (no more darkrooms) but good photography/filming basics have always stayed the same - attractive light, good composition and interesting content.
Nowadays I get a lot of pleasure combining my love of nature, sailing and local life with filming.
