About:
Gareth Buckett, the creative force behind Candela Productions, has cultivated a deep passion for photography that began with a humble Hanimex camera. Today, he wields a professional Nikon 35mm and a Fuji 6×9, exploring the unique qualities of film. Gareth believes that “the medium of film retains a special quality that is worth preserving,” which is evident in the breathtaking landscapes he captures.
Gareth’s work primarily features natural and industrial landscapes, often chasing the perfect light to evoke those “warm golden colours.” He shares, “The best time to shoot is at sunrise/sunset or in bad weather,” where a cloudy sky can transform into a magnificent softbox. This approach results in images that not only depict a scene but also encapsulate a fleeting moment in time.
In addition to his stunning photography, Gareth offers valuable insights into the craft, providing tips and articles on various techniques. His commitment to sharing knowledge reflects his belief that photography is as much about enjoying the moment as it is about capturing it.
With a dedication to authenticity, all images on the Candela Productions site are Gareth’s own work, blending both film and digital formats to showcase the versatility of photography.
