Precision photography
for every subject
Imagination
for that moment
Why I photograph
I believe photography is the ultimate democratic art discipline. Anyone can take a photograph, not everybody can take a good photograph and hardly anyone takes a great photograph. I aspire to the middle and hope one day to create a great image .
I photograph to preserve fleeting moments, to express my creativity, fire up my imagination and the best way to share my perspective on the world . I find photography a challenge , it helps me notice my environment and stay in the moment. Its a puzzle but helps me look through windows and corridors of my life.
It brings me joy and frustration in roughly equal measures.
MY RULES OF THE ROAD
These are my guidelines being a set of self imposed rules setting out my ethics; my artistic goals
and to ensure a balance between consistency , professionalism and creative fulfilment.
RIGHTS and RESPECT
I will always respect individuals privacy ; protect my subjects identity especially if they are sensitive .
I understand copyright and as necessary secure written permissions when shooting in private locations .
VISION and QUALITY
I will define a clear subject - I don’t make my viewer struggle .If it’s abstract then I’ll set the scene
Composition - take heed of techniques such as the rule of thirds
but as necessary or required for effect then I‘ll break the barrier
Integrity - I don’t misrepresent a person or location
MY GROWTH
Never stop learning - push techniques and vision .
Don’t spend too much time on safe easy subjects - outside the comfort zone
Commit to personal projects to ensure creative freedom
with a clearly defined brief prepared first
and the project gets completed
I will photograph to express my vision and perspective ; to constantly evolve my technical skills
SHOOT FOR MYSELF FIRST
