WELCOME TO 

PARKES FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY 

 

Hi! I'm Shaun Parkes. I love taking photographs. If it moves- or if it doesn't - I'll probably photograph it!

 

Let's get the qualification stuff out of the way, i.e. why choose me as your photographer? Well I've been a photographer now for over 40 years. I have a Master of Arts degree in photography from Falmouth University. (I also have level 3 and level 4 diplomas at Distinction level but they are outweighed by the Masters degree). I am an Associate Member of the Royal Photographic Society (ARPS) and a Licentiate Member of the Disabled Photographers' Society (LDPS).

 

I have been exhibited in over 75 exhibitions around the world, and published in numerous online and printed magazines and journals.

Sports Photography

 

I have done a lot of sports photography over the years. I specialise in Rugby Photography and have been the primary team photographer for several teams and for an online weekly rugby article. 

I cover matches, fomal and informal portraits, functions and tournaments. 

 

Portraits

 

I can produce headshots, formal and informal portraits. 

 

Events

 

I have covered many different events and would be happy to quote for covering your events.

 

Aviation Photography

Coming from an RAF family, I have loved aircraft since childhood.

Architecture and Heritage

Being on the committee of the RPS Archaeology and Heritage Group, I have a love of heritage photography, especially military heritage. 

Landscape Photography

I love landscape photography too, especially cityscapes with water / bridges and reflections.
