Magic Pot Photograph

1949 born, graduate of Institute of British Designers/UK and Kunsthochschule Kassel/Germany, since 1980 working in the advertising branch, specialized in commercial filming and advertising photography & photo-design.

For most of my images I use a special lighting technique and a very sophisticated lighting equipment (my own creation) the "Magical Mystery Torch" which allows me to create the mood somewhat reminiscent of the styles of the old masters of the Renaissance. Most of my work is painterly, especially those created with the MMT. Although digital image capture is used frequently, most images are created with conventional equipment, using conventional film and lenses. Images shot with MMT are unique in that no two images of the same subject come out the same. This technique involves no less than 20 seperate exposures (in some cases more that 50) to create one single image on a sheet of 5x7" film. The results are unique, one of a kind, just like a classic painting on canvas.
