Generally, my images are not about a sense of place, and probably wont trigger feelings of familiarity with a particular location or point in time. Hopefully, they encourage contemplation into the greater aspects of the natural world around us and allow the viewer to step beyond the world of "pretty postcard pictures".
Many images are the result of numerous trips to the same location (at ungodly hours) in order to realise a certain quality of light or form. The image capture process using a large format view camera is contemplative and exacting, where a single shot can take 15 minutes to set up the camera, compose the image on the ground glass, measure the light and finally trip the shutter. However the results, when everything goes right, are unsurpassed by other camera techniques.
All images are available as prints. Prints are made onto Cotton Based or Fibre Based Art paper using pigment archival inks in sizes up to 24" x 30". For larger sizes, 34" x 40" and 36" x 48", printing is done using a lightjet printer onto Kodak Endura Metallic paper. |
