Photography & Photographic Inspired Art
Visual imagery has always been important to me; it strongly influences my emotional engagement with the wider environment. Embracing that emotional connection allows me to see beauty & sparks my interest in some of the fleeting fragments of this amazing & dazzling world which I then capture with a digital camera as a standalone image or for reference.
Photography as an art form inspires my artistic creativity & feeds my imagination. Whether its spaces, places, environments, or mundane everyday objects, all have the capacity to excite with their light, colour, shadow, texture or form – the ordinary can become interesting. Combining my photographic & creative journey with artistic licence & imagination enables my work to evolve with the discovery of new places, techniques & inspirations. My eye & camera are drawn to silhouettes, contrast, colour & shape; my heart, to how the subject or location makes me feel & my hand to conveying those same inspirational elements as 2D pieces; a photograph or photographic based art.
Creating unique photographic inspired artwork to invoke memories, emotion or quiet contemplation through the permanence of each piece is an absolute privilege & one I am extremely grateful for.
