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 subject identity especially if they are sensitive .

I understand copyright and as necessary secure written permissions when shooting in private locations .

VISION and QUALITY

Define a clear subject - don’t make the viewer struggle .If its abstract then set the scene

Composition - take heed of techniques such as rule of thirds

but as necessary or required for effect then break the barrier

Integrity - 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 ; constantly evolve my technical skills

          SHOOT FOR MYSELF FIRST

and others second
