About Isle of Wight Gallery

Alfie in the Air

About Isle of Wight Gallery, Photographer Callum Oconnell creates large-scale prints combining aerial and land-based perspectives. He has many styles,  from Isle of Wight Prints of sunrises to sunsets and aerial shots showing impressive landscapes, together with minimal isolated images where ‘less is more’, creating powerful scenes using negative space. Callum grew up in the suburb Solihull in the Midlands; he moved to London at 21 years old and worked self-employed as an electrical and heating engineer based in the City of London. Photography was a hobby: he used to go out with friends in the evening for nighttime shoots when the city came alive, with all the lights, bustling streets and busy neighbourhoods. When the lockdown uncertainty hit, Callum moved to the Isle of Wight. He started selling his photographs online, which went well, and then decided to open a studio. He agreed on Ryde as it’s close to home, has great transport links and is one of the best places on the island for everything. In his Isle of Wight gallery, he prints, frames and displays a selection of his work from 35cm x 35cm ‘mini square’ photograph prints to much larger statement pieces; Most things in the gallery are framed in his most popular white frame, to give a nice clean modern look, since opening the new gallery he has added some more frame options and now displaying all black frames in the yellow room, which really shows off the black frames well.

About a Journey Through Photography

Originally hailing from the suburb of Solihull in the Midlands, Callum ventured to London at the age of 21, where he worked as a self-employed electrical and heating engineer in the bustling City of London. Photography was initially a cherished hobby, as he often ventured out with friends for nighttime shoots, capturing the vibrant life of the city illuminated by its myriad lights and lively neighbourhoods.

The uncertainty of the lockdown prompted Callum to seek solace and inspiration on the Isle of Wight, leading to the successful online sale of his photographs. This triumph inspired him to establish a physical presence, resulting in the opening of his gallery in Ryde—a location chosen for its proximity to home and excellent transport links, making it an ideal hub for creativity.
