About

I've been using a camera and taking photographs for over twenty years. What started as a simple hobby has now turned into some what of an obsession.

My photographic style and theme is a very eclectic mix of styles and genres ranging from photographing landscapes to creating still life images, through fashion photography to erotic and fetish photography.

With my work involving models, I look to undertake more unusual, edgy and experimental artworks, working with light and shadow is one of my main focuses. My style of photography is very individual and in some ways unique to me. I primarily use very strong contrasting light and I regularly use only one light source during a shoot to create strong shadows and highlights across the frame. In addition to the use of very contrasting lighting, my work is normally combined with a low level of saturation that gives my images a very distinctive dark and moody feel and tone, while keeping airbrushing to a minimum allows me to preserve the quality of the image as well as the natural beauty of both the model and the photograph being viewed.

Where possible I try to give my work as strong a narrative as I can, making each photograph tell its own story on its own merits and in its own right. Although my work should be able to tell its own individual story I believe that the story good photographs tell when put together in a series is just as important as the stories they are able to tell when viewed individually. While the narrative of the image is important to my work, I try not to make it so overpowering as the viewer cannot interpret it in their own way.

In contrast my photographic work that doesn’t involve models I try to make as bright and vibrant as possible, focusing mainly on working with colour and texture as opposed to light and shadow. I like the image to be a real and as true as possible with regards to subject and the nature of the image. In my non-model related photography I do utilize a good amount of post process manipulation, aiming to enhance the visual experience of the photograph and image it is presenting.

As a published photographer I strive to create the best and most visually striking images that I am able to. I strive to push the boundaries of my work in it’s style and technique as well as it’s execution, constantly improving upon and updating not only the technical skill needed but also the visual prowess required in creating uniquely diverse and an individual interpretations of what we can see in the world around us.
