about my work |

|
People often ask me if my images are digitally created or altered - and in fact it is quite the opposite! In that sense I am a contradiction - my ideas are avant-garde but my techniques are old-school (albeit unconventional). I have no intention of going digital because the qualities of the film itself are integral to the look of my end product. I achieve my effects using light, film, and coloured gels. To understand what is involved in creating one of my photographs, go to the sketches/notes section. Almost all of my photographs are taken with a large format camera. All of my images exist as transparencies only, until I have a show or client to print them for. Unlike an artist who paints canvases, I wouldn't be able to hang a show on a moments notice because I need time to get the prints done and framed. Except for the bug series that I had printed as giclees, my photos are printed as cibachromes. I've always had my cibachromes done by industry veteran Bob Carnie, and my gallery quality framing done by Kamelia at Elevator. Because I spent years working in commercial photography before I decided to exhibit, I have a lot of images that have never been exhibited! This web site is an ideal way to allow people to see all of my work that otherwise would sit filed away in a box in my studio. Cost of course prohibits me from printing more of my work than absolutely necessary, and hopefully I will have the opportunity to exhibit some of my older work, while always creating more! top |
