Welcome to the photography portfolio website of a nature photographer, John Appleton.
Rock formations, Argentina.
my passion is to create realistic and immersive artworks that showcase the beauty and mystery of the natural world. I use various software and techniques to render landscapes and scenes that are difficult or impossible to capture with a camera, such as the northern lights, the milky way, or the underwater realm. My goal is to bring out the surreal aspects of nature that often go unnoticed or unappreciated. I consider technology as my ally and my brush, as it allows me to experiment with different styles, colors, and perspectives. In this blog post, I will share some of my latest works and the inspiration behind them.
Aurora Borealis: This is one of my favorite subjects to paint, as it is a stunning phenomenon that can only be seen in certain parts of the world. I wanted to capture the contrast between the dark night sky and the bright green lights, as well as the reflection on the water. I used a combination of brushes and filters to create a realistic and dynamic effect.
- Galaxy: I have always been fascinated by the vastness and complexity of the universe, and I wanted to create a piece that would reflect that. I used a starry brush to create a background of stars, and then I added layers of nebulae, planets, and comets. I used different colors and opacities to create depth and contrast.
- Coral Reef: I love the underwater world, and I wanted to create a piece that would show its diversity and beauty. I used a watercolor brush to create a soft and fluid background, and then I added details of coral, fish, and other marine life. I used bright and vibrant colors to make the scene more lively and realistic.
