Exposure: Adam Spence
By Alexandra Savvides on 06 January 2009
Biography
Adam Spence is an 18-year-old freelance photographer from Canberra, Australia. From an early age, fostered by growing up in Australia's capital city, Adam has shown a keen interest in nature and capturing its beauty through the lens. In 2005, Adam's adoption of digital equipment opened up a whole new range of possibilities.
Adam cites leading Australian photographers such as Steve Parish, Ken Duncan and Rob Blakers as significant influences. At age 16, Adam established a gallery in a prominent Canberra restaurant, and later that year photographed the Victorian coastline from a helicopter.
For all his adventures around South Eastern Australia, Adam enjoys nothing more than capturing the beauty of his hometown. He is the owner of Adam Spence Photography.

Cygnet II
Originally, I was frustrated when trying to take this shot in Commonwealth Park, Canberra. I wanted a picture of one of the cygnets only, but a swan and another cygnet kept swimming past in front. It was only when the other swan and cygnet kept still to the left of the frame that I noticed the pleasant framing effect of the shot and the slight angle of the cygnet I was trying to photograph.
