Beyond my instinctive and somewhat limited and habitual sight, is a world of amazement and vision that I try to capture in moments at a time. This takes me on a new journey. I stop and gather the preciousness of nature and witness the vibrational patterns that make up other worlds parallel to my own. Time stops for me here.

My desire is to find harmony and enrichment within all of the project’s I undertake. I am inspired by both nature and the Divine and am open to discovering and sharing new possibilities for my work whilst following events the Universe places before me. Many of my works have a single aim - to get in closer. Each subject finds their own space to be seen and be given their own stage to shine, offering dynamic access to their world within.

The majority of my images have been captured on film. I prefer the construction of images in the film format. My eye has learned this and I find it is an easier and more enhancing composition. Yet I have begun experimenting with the digital form, aiming to find the unique style it will add to my images.

Developing black and white photographs in the dark room is another world unto itself. images 'appear' from seemingly nowhere right before my eyes. This thrill will stay with me forever and is something I always wish to return to.

Today my focus is on capturing and connecting with life in both the visual and written form. I see these two communication mediums as complementary and my work style respond to this. While both require attention, my need is to be taken out of my head and into my heart and soul and to share this with others through my self expression.
