To me, photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place... I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them. I have always preferred the reflection of the life to life itself.
Never stop photographing. It is very likely that your best photograph has not yet been captured
Over time the art of photography has changed greatly. But one thing has not changed, and that is the creativity that can be achieved. In fact, the number one determining factor for a great photograph is mood. The magic of photography is metaphysical. What you see in the photograph isn't what you saw at the time. The real skill of photography is organized visual lying.
Shutter speed and aperture are also valuable tools when trying to capture the mood. Creating a narrow depth of field, for example, will throw much of the frame out of focus, and can create interesting, dreamlike effects. Creative use of lighting is one of the most important tools for establishing a mood.
Ideas themselves may be treated as artworks. When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silent. There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs. We must remember that a photograph can hold just as much as we put into it, and no one has ever approached the full possibilities of the medium.
I am presently using digital cameras which allow you to view your photos throughout the session. I also use medium format and 35mm film based cameras. All photos are printed to the highest standard using professional laboratories. If you are interested in purchasing prints, licensing images or commissioning a project, please contact me with your specific requirements.
