Here be Dragons. Photograph. 2019. The image was created using a macro capture technique I developed to allow me to explore the effects that interference materials have on the passage of sunlight or moonlight. The picture was created using the light of the moon. The process is very much like going on an expedition. Equipment is prepared, a direction determined and only when the conditions for travel are favourable do I begin the process. What I search for cannot be planned. The aim is to create conditions that seem to allow me to see into an abstract reality. What can sometimes be seen may range between landscapes, figures, structures and like an ancient explorer who dedicates himself to exploring an undiscovered country, each time he sets out on the journey, he returns with something different.

United Kingdom
I am a UK based Artist born in Northern Ireland but currently living near London. I work as a commercial Sculptor and experimental Fine Art photographer. Professionally, working as a commercial sculptor to make my living, I have over 25 years experience making three dimensional objects for Public Art projects, Theatre, Film, TV and Retail display. My work with photography involves exploring qualities of light on the macro scale, revealed on its passage through, or as it reflects off, natural surfaces and materials. I am fascinated by the idea that all around us there are events and vistas that we cannot percieve because of their transience and minute scale. Some of the scenes captured in my experiments have an other worldly quality to them and could be said to represent fleeting glimpses into other dimensions or modes of perception. I use digital capture equipment and my own method of shooting at the macro level to reveal lights hidden qualities. I have chosen the digital capture, review and editing work flow as the process is quicker than traditional film based media. In my current body of work I have chosen to restrict my capture experiments to early in the morning or after moon rise as the quality of light at these times is at its most interesting. I am inspired by the natural world along with geology and science. I love the work of the Surrealists, Man Rays photograms, 1950s science fiction book cover illustration and classical figurative sculpture. I worked as the Studio Assistant for the Queens Sculptor for Scotland, Sir Eduardo Paolozzi, from early 1997 to late 1998. I have my studio close to home in Surrey, UK.
