Wes Kingston
Photographer
Wes Kingston has been a photographer for over 15 years. Wes started studying in Glasgow with an already diverse portfolio containing shots of extreme sports in South Africa, pro snowboarders in British Columbia, urban landscapes and street scenes from Toronto. While Wes studied he experimented with all kinds of cameras, films and styles finding he preferred medium format cameras, which he still uses today.
Wes is inspired by the changing and challenging environments of this industrial city, his travels and the diverse range of artists contained within SWG3 from graffiti artists to screen printers, musicians and sculptors. This collective group inspires Wes to continually challenge himself and his profession.
Recently Wes's professional body of work contains documentary pieces for charitable organizations in South Africa and across Scotland with contrasting involvement in the world of high-end international fashion. This collaboration between Wes and top fashion designer Deryck Walker has seen Wes create and shoot in Glasgow and Paris putting these cutting edge specialist fabric designs into context.
Wes continues to exhibit around the UK.
