About

A little about the website, and myself

The website is a showcase of my recent work, broken down into overlapping Galleries. Just click on any of the thumbnails to see an enlargement and to get basic details. If you have any questions about any of the images, or you feel you may like to own a fine-art print, click on Enquiries and I will get straight back to you. I’m more than happy to receive feedback, and to answer any questions about any of the pictures, and to advise about prints, framing, presentation and delivery.

I have been a professional photographer all my life, working to a brief, a budget and a deadline. Nowadays I follow my own path, inspired by the world of visual creativity in every medium, and focusing mainly on landscape. Landscape photography has its limitations; it really struggles to portray in two dimensions all that we perceive in three. So I avoid the conventional structures of landscape photography, preferring a more expressive feel, with a nod to the abstract. This will often take me to a two-dimensional structure, few vanishing points for me. Most importantly, I look for a striking image well composed within the frame. Recently I’ve taken a strong interest in digital drawings, using the circle as a basis, and occasionally going back to earlier photographs as a source. (I’ve done a lot of food photography in the past, for an Italian cheese company, so that’s probably why I now find myself drawing circular pictures of continental salads !!)
