Shooting with Pentax K-x and iPhone 7 as his primary camera
bodies, Hill shares the settings for two of his images before they
were edited to join his Twisted Landscapes series:
“You Are Here”
Lens: Pentax smc DA 50mm f/1.8, as it’s “fast, sharp and brilliant
in low light”
Aperture: f/1.8, Shutter Speed: 1/6000, ISO: 200
White Balance: Auto
“Existence”
Lens: Sigma 17-70mm f/2.8-4 DC Macro OS HSM: “My Sigma is
a great all-rounder: I use it for landscapes and also when I’m cre-
ating macro images.”
Focal Length: 40mm, Aperture: f/32, Shutter Speed: 30 seconds
ISO: 200

One of the largest challenges that Hill feels
photographers face today is differentiating
themselves in a world where everyone has a
camera on them all the time and considers
themselves a photographer.
“In this digital age it is so easy for an
individual to share their work with the world,
but with this comes a competitive saturation
that makes it difficult to stand apart, so I keep
searching for new ideas and concepts. I love the
challenge of working out an editing style while
putting my own ‘twist’ on it.”
In kind, Hill’s next project will be curving in
a somewhat different direction, combining his
digital art with his other passion: creating music.
“It’s still in its infancy,” reveals Hill, “But
I’m hoping and planning that there will be an
exhibition once completed.”
