FEATURED PHOTOGRAPHER

Modern technology equips you with some amazing tools that they could never have imagined, but the main task is essentially the same - to draw the viewer in, so that they can share your vision and tune into the emotions that you are trying to convey.

My usual approach to creating a new image means first of all constructing it in my imagination - visualising the composition, the objects I am going to use, the colour scheme, the lighting, the background, etc. In a successful still life image, the placing of every single object must be thought through, and the perfect - often the only possible - place carefully chosen. Above all the successful image will convey your emotions.

I like creating collections of images and have several themes that I am passionate about, but at any given time I do not force myself to stay within the constraints of any particular one. If an interesting image forms in my head I will work on it, regardless of whether it fits into a specific concept.
