I use a variety of techniques such as camera-less, film and digital media. This stems from challenging myself technically to create work that attempts to capture the depth, shape and visual impact of the proposed subject matter by presenting the images that enable a more organic type of exploration. It is very much an evolving process encouraging a more spontaneous approach to the world around us.

The images presented here are created by observing a variety of different settings and themes, they explore spatial placement and connection without the need to impose any pictorial definition. Each frame is absorbed by it's own abstract visualization and the viewer is free to explore the relationship between and within it's constructed form, shape, perspective and tone, respectively. As the viewer moves through the series they are able to consider each image's contextual meaning. In constructing the images and presenting them here in this way I hope to provoke the viewer's own emotional response without any visual or narrative inference.

Artist biography

I am constantly striving to observe and form my own unique frame of the visual situation laid out in front of me either in colour or in black and white, studying the subject matter and exploring its potential visual connection/interpretation beyond just representing the view in front of the camera, reshaping its context.

Many of my photographic projects originate from a desire to invite the viewer to witness some of the subtle unseen details of our environment, whether it be an off beat street scene, a conceptual observation of the natural world or a more intimate study of a person's life and how they function within it, respectively.
