ARTIST STATEMENT: Style of work � ethereal, sensual, photographic images, which are dark, mysterious, moody and definitely imperfect. A sense of motion and the use of light to interpret a clients� brand. An evolution of my work has been collaborating with motion graphic designers and most recently I have also begun working with video as a director. Inspiration- �cinematography and the moving image- it�s a big part of my photography, and the way I see and capture- it enables me to dissolve the barrier between the subject and viewer, so that the audience is no longer looking but experiencing.� |
