About
I am a multi-discipline digital artist primarily working in photography, my day job is marketing and graphic design.
The subjects I photograph are drawn from the natural world, but the substance of my work is human experience. I do not consider myself a nature photographer, my work is not 'about' nature. It is incidental to me that what breed of subjects I use to explore the expressive potential of the medium, being in nature happens to be the place where my experience has the most depth and I feel most inspired to share. Hence, it is where I make my art, and what my art is made of. Despite sharp differences in style, subject, and general approach, I consider myself a high art photographer or 'fine art photographer'. On the surface the reason for this association may not be clear, but despite the external differences I have with main stream fine art photography, the core of the work is the same for me as I believe it is for them. To express and share ourselves with other people, to reflect on our existence, to refine our own perspective and understanding of the world and ourselves, to stir the spirit of our spectators by sharing glimpses of the world that stirred our own spirits.
I hope to arrest viewers, engage them, with my work so that they can become part of the process of the work itself. I hope to interest them and provoke a chain of thought and emotions, there by they will make the art their own. I try to share my perspective and to a point my interpretation of it's meaning, but ultimately leave the viewers free space to form their own opinions of what I show.
"To photograph truthfully and effectively is to see beneath the surfaces and record the qualities of nature and humanity which live or are latent in all things." Ansel Adams
