Justin Quinnell

Justin Quinnell is the photographer who took this photo. This is 6 month exposure taken of The Clifton Suspension Bridge, Bristol from June 20th 2009 to December 9th 2009. Quinnell completed his photography degree in 1984 and since then has been doing pinhole photography for the past 20 years. He was born in Bristol and went on to work as head of photography at South Bristol College. Since then he has been holding lectures and workshops regularly on pinhole photography, of which he has concentrated. The majority of his work were made for his personal enjoyment but soon after he became recognised for his work, he would hold workshops in which his work would spark imagination and give inspiration to aspiring photographers. We thought that the photo that we whose was interesting and as we are doing pinhole cameras in class, we thought it would be suitable to choose this. More importantly, the main reason that we chose to study him was because we were told to.
