Capturing Moments
Karl Whopples
About me
A lover of the streets and the stories they tell, and the fleeting moments they host. Photography has been more than just a hobby for me; it's a way to capture the raw emotions and urban beauty that our cities have to offer. Street Photography is where my heart truly lies. I am not a professional, far from it – I'm just a keen enthusiast who sees the world through a unique lens.
Walking through the bustling streets of UK cities, I've collected a myriad of images that reflect the pulse and soul of urban life. But my photographic journey doesn't stop there. My wife, and our two loyal spaniels, often accompany me on ventures into the charming landscapes of the countryside. Together, we've captured delightful scenes that serve as a tranquil contrast to the hustle and bustle of city life.
Whether it's the lively interactions in a crowded market or the amazing beauty of a hillside sunrise, my camera is always ready to seize the moment. I invite you to explore my collection, where the beauty of the world meets the passion of a keen observer.
My Digital Photography
Some of my favourite images can be seen in the gallery and these reflect all areas of my portfolio. You will find dynamic scenes, edgy street photography and traditional landscapes. I have also included images from my ‘self-appointed’ status as Jaguar Land Rover’s internal Armed Forces Community photographer. The AFCN, as it is known from within is a community largely consisting of armed forces veterans and those who support the veteran community who have since opted for a career with JLR. 2024 saw the AFCN mobilise and provide support to WWII Veterans as they took part in D-Day 80th Anniversary celebrations both in the UK and Normandy, France.
