David Amphlett
London-based photographer David Amphlett studied art and design for three years before embarking on a degree in Photography, Film, and Television. He's employed as a film director and lighting cameraman working mainly in music and documentary based programming. His work has taken him all over the world, most notably to Australia, America, Japan, the Middle East, Russia and all across Europe. He's collaborated with artists as diverse as Bon Jovi, Andrea Bocelli, Eric Clapton, Dido and Billy Connolly. 

In 1999, seeking a change from working at the head of a large team David wanted to pursue some personal work with no client and only his only personal standards to answer to. He started the Hesian and Steel Project at the end of that year. The aim was to produce sensitive, subtle and informal images that go beyond photographic technique and demand an emotional response to the form, rather than to the specific person. The women exist in their own space and time. Their attitude doesn't presuppose an audience and their environments are largely plausible places. His principal inspiration on this project was the natural beauty and subtlety of Degas' charcoal and pastel drawings of dancers and bathing women. Other influences for the project were Ingres and the impressionists, David Hamilton's portrayal of innocence and use of natural light and Bill Brandt's abstract nudes. 

David uses a Mamiya RB67 camera and relies almost exclusively on daylight and tungsten softlight. He has participated in one shared exhibition at London's John Bloxham Gallery in 2000.
