Giles Norman - One Camera, One lens
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- The first click of a shutter by the hands of Giles Norman was for a school project. The first camera he could call his own arrived on his 18th birthday. And the first darkroom to bring his photographs to life was in the attic of an old friend’s house. Relocating his darkroom to a rented space in Kinsale, Giles began working on his first portfolio in 1981. Both locals and tourists flocked to the tiny window of this studio, which offered a glimpse into his growing collections, and this welcome curiosity encouraged Giles to open his first gallery in Kinsale in 1988.
Welcome to the story of Giles Norman. In his own words
One camera, one lens, and a car. Spent 7 years living in Cork and travelling about the west coast. Splendid stuff.
‘Best job in the world’, I know the feeling even after 40 years, I still think so too.
Just one camera and a 24-600 😂 seriously though some lovely shots on the website. 2 Sheep’s a cracker 👍
I stayed at your guesthouse last October with my wife and loved being surrounded by your work. Truly beautiful stuff.
I'm lucky enough to own 3 of Giles' photos, truly beautiful. My parents and I went into your shop when we were in Ireland.The camera (nothing fancy) I had at the time, I could switch to black and white. So when we went to the Cliffs of Moher, inspired by Giles, I took a few pictures in black and white, and they were really pretty. For my Dad's 70th birthday, I ordered a photo of the Cliffs of Moher. It was the one place on our trip he really wanted to go to. Catherine was nice enough to help me with the order online and had Giles sign it as well.
Thank you for the introduction to your work. Absolutely love it.
No tripod? Maybe I’m too old but I can’t create a good landscape without my sturdy tripod.
What is that one lense referred to ??? Does anyone know?
That is lovely, wholesome, honest, interesting work. (Both the photography and the documentary/videography.)
Really nice video, I too started with a K1000 ! so many did back in the day great camera! When I think of the idea one camera one lens I think of a prime not a super zoom like in this video. I'd enjoy hearing why a superzoom and not a prime?
How nice it is to see a real photographer on RUclips !

THIS IS THE DREAM
Beautiful work and great presentation. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.
Love your work Giles! Your success has been deservedly earned.
Thank you for the introduction Giles, I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work!
Respect from Malaysia 🎉
What camera, and what lens?😅
My thoughts exactly lol, love the vid though
It was as a Nikon D850 and a Nikon 28-300 a few years ago , not sure if that has changed
Cool video, looks like 28 to 300 on a D850 to me. I keep my 28-300 on a D700 always to hand, never stuck it on the D850 🧐,
Maybe the one you already have? I use the Sony RX10iv which is a 24 to 600 lens.
I shoot with a Practika and 50m Gorlitz😊
One Camera - One Lens but what camera and what lens? You began shooting 35mm film but how are you doing your B&W photography now, if you please? Digital I think considering the print sizes you offer. I shoot predominantly the Nikon 35mm f/1.4. Harkens back to the days of my youth as a newspaper photographer when no lens had a 1.4 aperture. So today - 2024 - it's a Nikon D850, the 35mm mentioned earlier and the Nikon 105mm micro in a small shoulder bag. I enjoy B&W images also. Thanks for sharing. I like your gallery photos also.
Lovely video, very inspiring.
¡¡¡MAGNÍFICO TRABAJO...!!!
GRACIAS POR LA CLASE MAGISTRAL, GILES.
SALUDOS DESDE ESPAÑA.
NANO.
Fabulous video, I love black and white, being brought up watching old films it just seems natural, I would love to know the lens you love to grab most.
Love everything about this.
Watched this and then looked up at a framed Giles Norman piece I have hanging on my wall 😊 His B&W photography inspires my own work 📷
Wow! Glad that I stumbled across your work, Giles! Who shot this video for you? They did a great job.
Wonderful images and photographer! But one zoom lens is more than one lens... 😉
Dziękuje.
My wife and I also stayed at your guest house in Kinsale. Looking forward to going back this year.
Wonderful. What is the lens? Thank you
My wife and I visited your store and bought one of your photographs. We love it!
This video is beautiful
I love how you were realistic with your creative juice and never repressed them despite the impatience to be a painter or an artist .You still found a medium that suits you .😊
Great piece on a fantastic guy.
For many years I used one camera and one lens then technology changed to digital and it became many cameras and many lenses it’s just my job to accommodate clients with new technology !
So true
The West Coast of Ireland wow! Nice one Giles and Thank you for showing us around, and yes I have been saying it for years One Camera and One Lens.......
yeah, although the "one lens" might be a zoom
What lens?
What equipment was the interview itself filmed using? And who did the filming?
Wonderful stuff!
Fantastic 👍
Wonderful work. So glad I found this video.
It looks like a zoom Lens, that I will not call "one lens", it is much more inspiring to use a prime Lens !
Great video, but I was immediately looking for this comment! That's a 28-300 or something similar, not really the true meaning of 'one lens'
I used my Pentax daily for about a decade. It was my aunts and she let me have it. It started my journey into photography. It is a camera and those lenses that I would NEVER sell.
