Artist Statement I started taking pictures at the age of eleven and I have been fascinated ever since.
Seduced away from film about five years ago, I now shoot almost exclusively on digital media. I remain, however, a traditional photographer at heart - manipulation and post-production antics are not for me. Rotated as required and sometimes cropped, my images are otherwise left alone. A relatively spare in-camera palette of the old variables - the optical properties of the glassware, the receptivety of the medium, the size of the hole and for how long it is opened - suits my way of working.
My favourite gizmos are the eye and the muse. And what gets me out there with my camera? Why, the light of course.
