Ben Quinton - An English Romance

An English Romance by Ben Quinton follows the activity of a shoot and captures the regular occurrences at these events. The images cover a range of activities and sights, including the dead pheasants, the men at work, and transportation.


Some images have the composition and content of argricultural paintings, and depict the variety in pheasant shooting. Whether it's clothing, location, or dogs, diversity is included. What lacks diversity are the people participating in the sport shown in these photographs: they are all white men. 


Ben Quinton has an education in commercial photography and has been published in the Saturday Telegraph Magazine, the Guardian Weekend Magazine, Sleek Magazine, Foto8, and GQ Online. His personal work is mostly documentary and he is interested in different cultures.



The project is still in progress.
