0203 Boat in the Water Photograph

Where possible my aim is to challenge the fundamentals and boundaries of photography and to strive to be unique in my preferred style of photographic art. Genres covered are still life, character and nautical studies, all influenced by impressionism. My goal is to create a picture that portrays mood, atmosphere and emotion. Achieving this may involve purposely removing the clinical sharpness that we generally associate with a photograph or possibly working on the colour palette so the colours are allowed to bleed. I currently serve on the Royal Photographic Societies Fine Art Distinctions Panel and have some of my work is included within the RPS Permanent Collection. I hold three Fellowships, two with the Royal Photographic Society and one with the Irish Photographic Federation. An invitation to membership of the London Salon of Photography in 2011 was proudly accepted. FRPS – Fellow. (Royal Photographic Society) 2005 MPAGB – Master. (Photographic Alliance of Great Britain) 2005 AFIAP – Artiste. (Federation Internationale de l’Art Photographique) 2010 FRPS – Fellow. (Royal Photographic Society) 2016 FIPF - Fellow. (Irish Photographic Federation) 2016 I have been very fortunate to to recieve numerous awards in photographic salons worldwide. Although my home is the Channel Island of Guernsey, I will often be found away from the island judging national and international photographic salons, this is something I greatly enjoy along with giving presentations of my work.
