We had the distinct pleasure to interview award winning designer Chris Tattersall about their original and creative Unspoiled Nature design work. Chris Tattersall is an award-winning communication designer, that makes our world a better place with their original unspoiled nature works.
Chris Tattersall ("CT") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work Chile 2018 Unspoiled Nature. Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
CT : I wanted to capture the best images possible of the unspoilt Nature before my eyes and to then share them with my photos.
CT : To capture the best images I could to reflect the Natural Beauty before me and then to share it.
CT : I hope that my images are shared widely and give the same pleasure to other people as they have to me.
CT : I travelled on the Photo Expedition to Chile and then spent a few weeks afterwards perfecting the images. However, the whole thing was a culmination of all my photographic efforts that I have made all my life.
CT : An email from Nikon advertising this expedition appeared in my email. I was intrigued, followed up on it and researched it and decided I must seize this opportunity.
CT : I have always to this date only produced images for my own personal satisfaction. However, since winning this award and having a great and extensive back catalogue, I would now like to share my work more widely and gather any rewards that might ensue.
CT : "To see a world in a grain of sand And a heaven in a wild flower, Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, And eternity in an hour." William Blake
CT : Many photographers are keen to belong to Photography Clubs / Groups where their work is analysed and critiqued. In my opinion this can produce sheep herd-like "groupthink". I have always been proudly independent and have always ploughed my own furrow.
CT : Anyone who loves Natural Beauty.
CT : Patagonia and Easter Island are places less visited by the majority of people than other locations. This uniqueness gives it value.
CT : I just named the project after the country and year of my visit to Chile.
CT : I used a Nikon D850 SLR camera and made extensive use of Adobe Photoshop software.
CT : The unspoilt Nature portrayed with NO "Selfies" to ruin it.
CT : I am a firm believer in proud individualism. I am the Lemming who refuses to follow all the rest of the Lemmings and blindly jump off a cliff just "because everyone else does". My work stands or falls by my own efforts alone.
CT : I used a Nikon D850 SLR camera and made extensive use of Adobe Photoshop software.
CT : No. Everything was driven by the aesthetics which presented themselves before my eyes.
CT : I would say that in Patagonia the biggest challenge was the climate and weather. Patagonia is only one step away from the Antarctic and on many days there the cold was bitter !
CT : I was approached by email by someone at A' Design Awards who had noticed my work on the Internet. They invited me to make a submission for an award
CT : The whole expedition was led by an expert Nikon photographer. He shared his profound knowledge of all the intricate technical options and possibilities of Nikon cameras and I learned an enormous amount which I can use in future projects.
CT : I think all has been covered.
