(6)Darran Shields is refreshing new photographer that can be found on Gallereo. His new photography website is smart, clean and modern, and his photography is clever, bright and inspiring.
Under the alias, arctic, Darren specialises in abstractions of photography and literature. These abstractions manifest themselves in light, form and colour and are taken from a range of sources in the world around us. From natures shapes, to man-made forms, there is little that Darren doesn't see with an eye for abstraction.
His website neatly groups his work into cohesive gangs of images that allude to memories or a dream-like state where the world is weird and wonderful, but not fully in focus.
Darren is based in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, where he excelled in photographic practice at College. He's also a multi-award winner on popular art sharing platform deviantART.
We're glad to have Darren onboard, and hope that his website does him proud!
