Biography

Reinventing the past: an interview with digital art photographer Lou Oates. by Simon Maxwell. From my limited but enjoyable exchanges with featured Pixiport artist Lou Oates, I have discovered that photography is truly experiencing a renaissance. Lou is proof of that. I would consider myself lucky to go on approaching my photography with the same degree of passion and involvement that he clearly enjoys, having apparently retired five years ago! Lou has wholeheartedly embraced the new digital technology available to photographers and is now applying it in exciting, thought-provoking ways. While his website www.louoatesphotography.com is alive with all sorts of images, both colour and black and white, his Pixiport gallery represents his latest work, some very original photo-montages or "digital composites" to use his term, which need to be seen! In fact, they defy description - so why not visit Lou's gallery, then read the interview and, as I did, enjoy getting a little closer to the originator of this very interesting material, a master-puppeteer of the surreal and a very entertaining man to learn from.
