David Wightman Artist - Fellow of Berwick's Gymnasium Gallery
I recently photographed artwork by David Wightman, an artist and fellow at Berwick’s Gymnasium Gallery. His landscapes are incredible in person – detailed, layered, and completely unique – each one built from collaged wallpaper on canvas to create a fascinating mix of texture and precision.
In the studio, I used controlled flash lighting to capture the richness of colour and subtle details in David’s piece. The aim was to reproduce the artwork faithfully for large-scale prints, brochures, and digital use. Photographing fine art like this is always a careful balance between technical accuracy and artistic respect – it’s about revealing the work without changing its essence.
Berwick has such a vibrant creative community, and I love collaborating with the artists and galleries who make it what it is.
