"Fight" A series of six images observed during a full contact boxing training session. A one bout contest of this close and personal sport. The power and the speed of these combatants from the famous Rafael Trejo Boxeo gym in downtown Havana was a remarkable thing to behold. It is no wonder Cuba produce some of the world's finest boxers. Gritty, raw, brave and tenacious are a few superlatives I would use for these competitors. The work was produced at twilight as La Habana comes alive and the nearby streets flow with Latino energy, exactly like this arena of combat. Light was at a premium, so grainy black and white was the obvious choice for this body of documentary work. The protagonists equipment may be worn and in some cases threadbare but this did not diminish from the endeavours of the contestants involved. Congratulations to the unknown gladiators! The work is produced using Fujicolor Crystal Archive Professional velvet photographic C Type silver halide paper, with a zero-reflective top layer creating stunningly soft and deep-matte effect prints. Velvet delivers enhanced colour reproduction, white purity and excellent image quality and stability, ideal for fine art prints. An image size of 24x16 inch, with a white two inch white border surround for ease of mounting (making the overall print dimensions 28x20 inches). The artwork comes with a certificate of authenticity which will be signed and numbered with the edition size. Limited edition of 9 that will not be exceeded in the stated size and materials

As a multi disciplined international award winning photographer who strives for continual perfection and that perfection is just out of reach, elusive. Each image I believe can always be improved; can be changed; can have a deeper meaning hidden beneath the surface and it’s my intention to draw the viewer into that image. I draw inspiration from past generations of artists. I particularly like the darkness and tension within Caravaggio’s works, the technicality of Leonardo da Vinci and the abstraction of Vincent Van Gogh. Some of these ideas are easier to transfer into our medium due to the digitalised age. As a photographer we are currently in times where we can express ourselves through our work by changing and advancing our styles. Now forward thinking stock libraries like Arcangel are a portal to creativity where the only limits we have are our own imaginations. I often use Fibonnaci’s divine ratio, consciously or subconsciously, within my work. This theory runs as a constant throughout the universe being seen in nature, patterns and shapes. I have a real affinity for travel and I have been fortunate to visit over 70 countries. I have been able to interact with different people and cultures through these experiences. This travelling has helped me develop a style of observational photography, sometimes by watching an event unfold and second guess the subject. It has helped me with my curiosities about the world and seems to draw me in further by looking at the complexities and interactions surrounding life. It has opened up my senses by allowing me to see great cities to small villages; visiting ancient monuments; to viewing a solar eclipse; to feeling the force of nature through the sea and feel the power of hurricanes. I have been widely published in travel and tourism guides, books, magazines and billboards
