Noel is based in Athens, Greece. Both living on the coast and in the city, bares heavy influence on the imagery that Noel produces. He trained and studied photography to a bachelors degree level and continues to learn and explore different and varied photographic and artistic processes, favouring simplicity over heavily complex imagery. The images Noel now produces, are what they are, some are edited and corrected, some are heavily manipulated, however, they are all based within that simple artistic philosophy. And as Noel says, 'I make sure that I enjoy the whole creative process, I hopefully end up with images that others will appreciate. Without that playfulness in art what is there??' 'Art and photography should be accessible to everyone, regardless of income, regardless of anything really. For me, photography and creativity are an escape from the stresses and strains of modernity, a way of exploring the inner and outer environments within which we all live.' Noel manages to fit this in alongside his full time job of being a Chef and is in the process of writing a book, (see his Facebook page www.facebook.com/fromfieldtoforkandbeyond )
