Rhododendron Photograph - Limited Edition of 10

As a predominantly still life photographer, my work is an exploration of simplicity, silence, and the profound beauty found in the ordinary. Drawing inspiration from the principles of Japanese haiku, my images aim to capture fleeting moments of harmony, balance, and subtle emotional depth. Each photograph is a visual poem, a meditation on the quiet elegance of everyday objects and the spaces they inhabit. In my compositions, I strive to distill the essence of my subjects, often embracing minimalism and the delicate interplay of light and shadow. This approach allows me to reveal the intrinsic beauty and significance of even the most mundane items. Just as a haiku captures the essence of a moment with precision and brevity, my photography seeks to evoke a sense of contemplation and presence. The haiku’s focus on nature, transience, and the seasons deeply informs my work. I often incorporate elements from the natural world, presenting them in a way that invites viewers to pause and reflect on the subtle details and the passage of time. Each image is a silent narrative, inviting a dialogue between the viewer and the subject, encouraging a deeper connection with the present moment. Through my work, I aim to create a space where simplicity and beauty coexist, where the viewer can find a sense of peace and introspection. My work is a testament to the idea that there is profound meaning in the small, the still, and the seemingly insignificant. It is an invitation to see the world with a fresh perspective, and to appreciate the poetry that exists in our everyday lives.
