Ian Bratley
Born in the city of York, Ian Bratley is currently based in the West Midlands after relocating in 2001. Whilst providing a range of commercial photography services, Ian has also achieved success in fine art photography through personal projects and commissions. His latest work, Perceptions, recently featured at the International Festival of the Image, including selection for publication in Birmingham Life Magazine. “I believe that the raw materials for my photography are the results of chance and observations from my own life and daily surroundings. I create from feelings in my own solitude, with no real notion of the end result. Throughout our lives, we all imagine shapes in clouds and see faces in patterns. Perceptions is a body of work which invokes the viewer to observe the imaginary objects hidden within their minds."
