Peter Kain
|
Peter Kain is a photographer from Oswestry, Shropshire, although he lived and worked in North London for 35 years. He now lives in Loulé Hills, the Algarve, which has been his home for the past six years. He shares his house with wife Carolyn, occasionally daughter Alice when she visits from the UK, and four cats.
How long have you been a photographer?
Forty-four years – man and boy! I joined the RAF as a boy entrant and trained as a photographer. I love all forms of photography but these days I particularly enjoy reportage, portraits, landscapes and advertising work because they pay well.
Which photographers’ work do you admire most and why?
Lord Lichfield. I worked with him for 30 years and always admired his professionalism. Other favourites include David Bailey, Don McCullin and Barry Lategan. I’m a huge supporter of the great British photographers.
If you could take a picture of anyone, living or dead, who would it be?
Richard Leakey, the world-renowned Kenyan palaeontologist, archaeologist and conservationist. Richard is a man of substance and a good friend. Photographing him would provide an excellent reason to meet up again.
What, in your opinion, is the most amazing sight in the world?
I guess you’re expecting me to say a geographic sight or natural landscape feature, but for me it has to be one’s child being born. I can’t think of a more amazing sight.
What are your top tips for taking a good picture?
Always keep your camera with you. There are some great ‘point and shoot’ compact digital cameras on the market at the moment, and that is all you need. Nothing overly complicated to begin with. Having your camera permanently to hand means you will always get that shot you would otherwise have missed.
How do you relax?
Being on the Algarve is THE way to relax; it’s a fantastic lifestyle, and I’m lucky enough to also have the hobby I adore as my profession. Photography is my relaxation as well as my living.
