Dave Atkinson first became interested

in photography when he visited his

grandparents and was given a couple

of broken bellows cameras to play

with. He never actually took pictures

with them but enjoyed playing with

them and the seed was sewn. The first

camera used was a “Halina Paulette”,

which his parents gave him for a

birthday present. It had a fixed lens and

used 35mm film so he had to get use to

selecting apertures and shutter speed

etc., as well as focussing. His subjects

were mainly portraits of family and

friends with occasional forays into

athletics and other sports and also

animals in zoos and safari parks. The

latter giving him an early interest in a

genre which he much later went back

too.

Dave Atkinson, fotoğrafla ilk

olarak büyükanne ve babasının ona

oynaması için kırık dökük körüklü

bir fotoğraf makinesi vermesiyle

tanıştı. İlk fotoğraflarını elbette

onunla çekmedi ama fotoğrafa dair

ilk tohumları belki de bu sayede atıldı.

Kullandığı ilk kamera, ailesinin ona

doğum günü hediyesi olarak aldığı

bir “Halina Paulette” oldu. Bu sabit

lensli ilk makinesinde 35mm filmler

kullandı, bu nedenle diyafram açıklığı

ve deklanşör hızı seçmenin yanı sıra

odaklamaya alışması gerekiyordu.

Çektiği konular atletizm ve çeşitli spor

dallarının yanısıra hayvanat bahçeleri,

safari parklarındaki hayvanlar

ve buraları ziyaret eden ailelerin

portreleriydi.
