About Lightseeker


Mike Cookson, a.k.a. Lightseeker, is a London-based photography enthusiast. Formerly a passionate monchrome darkroom worker, I have been totally digital since 2005 and most of my work is now in colour. You can find many examples of my earlier work and photographic projects on my main website mikecookson.com.

The images you can see on this blog usually do not form part of a project. Typically they are posted shortly after capture and with relatively little post-processing, usually just levels and a little sharpening. I hope that you enjoy the images and even better that you take the opportunity to leave some comments!
