THE WORLD AS I SEE IT
Although I strive to capture the moment, the limitations of time, weather, and convenience, may not afford me the luxury of always painting with light via the lens, so I will therefore, often capture the mundane, in the hope of later transforming it into something more pleasing to the eye via modern darkroom techniques.
It is said that, "the camera never lies," but a camera, be it film or digital, is limited in it's representation of light, shade and colour, as we see it. I attempt, via post processing techniques, to overcome the limitations of the camera. I attempt to portray what I see, in a manner that not only has a wider range of dynamic tones, but that also represent my emotions/feelings at the time that the image is presented to me.
Due in part to the above, some of the images displayed, may not resemble a “traditional” photograph. This is due to a deliberate processing technique which is in no way an attempt to make a photograph look like a painting, although the finished product may well appear to be so. The process is used merely to facilitate a more appropriate finished product (ie what the photographer envisaged or felt), as opposed to the image merely representing that which was seen through the lens.
Thank you for taking the time to pay me a visit and please call back, as new work is being added regularly.
