Artist Stuart Baumber discovered his passion for Art in the Technical Drawing room at Cottenham Village College in 1982. Pursuing a career in Engineering led Stuart down the avenue of Draughting and Computer Aided Design. As an avenue for his creativity, he turned to photography as his preferred media. He loves to capture the beauty in the every day, noticing the minute details that others might pass by. One of his favourite subjects is Ely and the surrounding areas, especially the monumental Cathedral. When Stuart is not observing life through a lens, he enjoys long-distance running, exploring the Norfolk coast, cooking Paella over a fire pit and owl spotting. In addition to the traditional styles of photography, Stuart also enjoys creating unusual and interesting images. This sometimes involves filling the room with smoke, setting up shots for multi-exposures, food, drink and sweets, and even making parts for Pinhole Photography.
