Michael Isles has been taking photographs since the late 1970s, when he was tutored and mentored by esteemed exhibition photographer, the late Richard Ravensdale FRGS, and studied photography at a local arts and technology college. He’s currently a member of the Royal Photographic Society and is working towards a distinction in contemporary photography with the society. Additionally, Michael has recently been selected by application as a professional member of the Axis national contemporary art network - https://axisweb.org/artist/michaelisles Minimalism and mindfulness are two descriptors that Michael feels work well with his photography and his work as an education consultant in social work and mental health. Mindfulness can be said to be the conscious awareness of the moment, Michael’s intention being to provide a space for the viewer to become absorbed in. Minimalism is perhaps summed up as an appreciation of simple forms and a recognition that, to quote a well-used adage, “less is more”. All of the photographs on display on this website and at his exhibitions are signed and printed by Michael, who also mounts and frames each one. Some are limited editions, please check the website description or label for details. ArtDoc magazine have recently published a couple of Michael's photos in their online exhibition 'Life Today': https://www.artdoc.photo/online-exhibition/life-today
