ARTIST BIO

I am a photographer and author, passionate about history, old buildings, vintage objects, and travel. Quite by accident I stumbled into photography about 20 years ago. I became captivated after taking snaps of mates in a band playing a gig. Afterwards enrolling in a photographic course and then joining a local photographic society, I went on to win awards up to the national level. I also exhibit in selected art shows, often being fortunate enough to place for an award.

My goal is to create beautiful, engaging, fine art photographs that inspire conversation, and enliven spaces with nostalgia and warmth.

As my those that know me would attest to, I am a bit of a perfectionist, so much planning and preparation goes into my photography. For example, with my Nostalgique series, it was a 2 year journey of researching and photographing 50 oft-forgotten items to bring them back to life. A significant amount of that time was spent planning the composition of each scene, so as to place the viewer back in time with each object. Once photographed, each digital image was processed to enhance the colours, tones, contrast, etc. in line with my original vision. Printing the photographs is the final step. It is the moment when the images become tangible, and my favourite part of the process. Apart from my largest pieces, I print all my work. I use archival inks and gallery quality cotton rag paper, resulting in vibrant pieces that will last a lifetime.

I create photographs to express my passions and bring them to life in a meaningful way. It also allows me to share those passions with others. For where is the joy in life if we cannot share the things that interest us. I hope that I have created something that resonates with you.
