Biography 

Finn Gibson

[ 2000
- Present ]
Finn Gibson (b.2000) is a British photographic artist whose work explores the spirit and sensation of being immersed within a landscape. His image making process involves observing and interrogating the relationship between people and place. Captivated by the natural world and untamed landscapes, Gibson makes regular trips to remote regions of the British Isles and beyond. Drawing inspiration from landscape painters such as Turner and Constable, he has an inherent attention to the way light falls on a subject. Gibson uses the camera to intricately study the world around him, directing the lens at those who inhabit it and the land itself. Gibson spends time traversing and exploring wild places, the camera a reliable tool to record each transient encounter with a sense of joy, freedom and humanity.
