About The Artwork

Someone once asked me why I'm always looking down. The simple answer is, that it's amazing what inspiration there is on the ground, if I'd been looking ahead, I'd have missed this wonderful shot. What inspires me? I like to turn what may appear to be, a situation/scene that doesn't appear to have any photographic appeal and change that perception. I hope I've achieved that. I hope people will be able to appreciate, that art comes in many forms and often the unexpected. I work with whatever I happen to be carrying at the time, moments can disappear, so quickly it's important to capture them before they're gone. My style is, for the most part simplicity, I don't like over complicating an image. I like the relationship with form, shape and texture, important ingredients, in making a good image, for me. As a rule I print my pictures on A3 Matte Archival Art Paper but occasionally I use a semi gloss paper, this is because, I believe that the image will benefit. I reserve the right to make that decision on your behalf, unless of course you request otherwise. If you have a preference of paper type, then if you contact me direct, this can be discussed. The image size will be approximately 10x8, or what I consider sits aesthetically correct within an A3 paper format. Should you be interested in purchasing one of my pictures, it’s worth noting, that print colour may vary slightly depending on what system you are viewing the image.

"To see we must forget the names of the things we're looking at"-Claude Monet Some imagery has far more immediate impact, landscapes or portraiture perhaps and it's easy to understand why we connect with such. But other images we simply don’t see because we don’t consider the subject to have any value. My approach has always been to challenge that and show beauty/interest can be found in the ordinary, the mundane that’s all around us and that we walk by each and everyday without giving a second glance. I’d like to ask you to take another look and allow your imagination to expand. See the beauty of texture, colour and shape that you might find in a piece of oxidising metal, peeling paint or decaying leaf. I like to look at what I might consider to be ‘Art in my Environment ’ should you take a section of crumbling wall, frame it and hang it in a Gallery it becomes transformed and takes on a totally different meaning, does that make it of any less artistic value? It's the same with images that are simple and the idea that “anyone could have done that” but in my experience “anyone” don’t do that and that I believe is the difference between the creative and non creative. Creatives do whereas non creatives don’t. Simplicity also shouldn’t be precluded or discounted, I get the impression sometimes as though complicated somehow gives something more value but don’t be fooled by that, I personally believe less is more and as Leonardo da Vinci said, 'Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.' and he was quite good wasn't he?
