Light
seeps to my eyes
See, Observe
subtleties of colour, contrast, textures
movements.
I let it sink
in my mind,
With a simple box in my hand,
And layered glass
Click
A moment of time.
Captured
Like a bird in a cage
A flicker of something
Just Past.
A split of a second
In a dialogue of time
Stored in my box.
Etched on film
Numbers on a card
An Image
One of a kind
In days to come
New eyes
Will See
Again
and
again
the photograph
Welcome to my website where you will be able to see a selection of my commercial and artworks. I am a London based Photographer, Artist and Tai Chi Chuan Instructor. Over the years I have I've had the opportunity of working with a diverse range of clients across various industries, including dance, theatre, art, design, interiors, product and culinary.
I hold a portfolio career that meanders between the fine arts and commercial photography, graphics, book design as well as working in the field of wellness with a over 20 years of teaching Tai Chi Chuan.
My artwork is a continuous exploration of the complexities and interplay of movement and time. The beauty of photography , is that it is timeless, and within that we are always seeking to freeze, capture and set squeeze time a sigle image. This is what fascinates me with this medium even in a digital and AI age where image creation is moving further away from the analogue - and chemical age of photography. My works has been exhibited internationally, held in private collections and have published in various magazines and books. I have collaborated with artists such as Gabriel Klasmer, musician Tom Tlalim, dance historians Millicent Hodson and Kenneth Archer on various large scale projects from installations to book publications. See archive section for further details.
Worked commercially, I have a built a portfolio across a number of different fields. Every photographic project is a fascinating and exciting journey - each shoot seeks a creative and unique approach that has expanded my skills through different fields such as graphics, web design and branding. Known for a modern, clean and elegant photographic style that renforces the clients brand and design.
