Carol Fulton
BA (Hons) Fine Art, MA Photography
Carol
Fulton studied Fine Art Photography gaining a First
Class Honours degree in 1984. This was followed by
an MA in Photography at the Royal College of Art,
London in 1990. Winner of the Fletcher King Prize
and co-won the Boots / 3M Award and the Chesterton
Prize.
After ten
years in London working for designers on book covers,
and opera, theatre and dance posters, Carol moved
to Kent where she now exhibits and sells her large
scale figurative landscapes to both corporate and
private clients.
Though appearing incidental, all the images are highly
orchestrated – and are photographed using models
in carefully selected locations. They are all single
exposures, shot in-camera using traditional roll film
and medium format cameras i.e. not created digitally.

Carol is
interested in producing images which convey a sense
of magic, incongruity and the incidental, and a feeling
of energy and timelessness in her subjects.
Interiors:
Carol began her series on derelict Greek and Italian
rooms whilst at the Royal College of Art, attracted
to these places by the quality of light and rich availability
of empty, atmospheric interiors. Only recently has
she begun to introduce the figurative element into
this work.
landscapes:
Having spent over
ten years working indoors, either in her London studio
or in abandoned buildings abroad, the move to Kent
with its varied landscapes and coastlines has provided
Carol with a constantly-changing and stimulating environment
in which to set up her landscape photographs.
Other:
Since winning the
Chesterton Prize and Fletcher King Award, Carol has
photographed interiors in Britain and abroad for magazines
and brochures, again using light and movement as key
elements in her work.
