PROFILE: KEITH FINDLATER

I live in York in North-East England and have 25 years of specialist experience as a professional photographer, comprising both traditional film photography and digital imaging technology.

For half of this time I worked as an Architecural Photographer of Historical Buildings with the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England.

I have since worked with high-end digital photography, multimedia image processing, computer graphics and web design. This resulted in two Masters degrees in Computer Graphics and scientific research on the colour imaging of stained glass windows.

I worked for the successful VITRA European Project involved close international collaboration and teamwork with many industrial, institutional and academic partnerships (www.vitra.org)
