BIOGRAPHY

Edward Mole started taking photographs when just six years old, with a basic film camera. However it was the gift of a digital camera (won in an ‘Extreme Marmiting’ competition!) that really sparked his interest. His father and brother, Charlie, are also very keen so they take cameras with them everywhere they go.

Edward likes being ‘the observer’ particularly in the bustle and vibranceof cities and at events such as the Goodwood Festival of Speed, where his award-winning portfolio was shot. He also loves wild landscapes – for instance the rough seas of Pembrokeshire.

“I am lucky to have encouragement from my art teacher at school to take pictures and I chose to base a recent art project on the work of French photographer Henri Cartier Bresson. This inspired me to do more black and white photography and street photography and to keep an eye open for the ‘decisive moment’.

Edward hopes to become a sports doctor one day, and is contemplating combining this with being a sports photographer. “Whatever I do I know my camera will always be with me.”
