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.
