Curiosity Studies
David Lineton is a still life photographer in London, and Curiosity Studies is where he tests technique without a client brief, using chrome, reflective surfaces, glassware and liquid texture as the subject.
The constraint he sets himself is to solve as much as possible in camera rather than in post. Lighting setups and problem-solving worked out here feed directly back into his commercial shoots.
