About me

As a teenager, discussing the meaning of everything, the word ‘light’ seemed to encompass all that was needed both physically and mentally.

For example, the more light that we shine upon a subject of contention, the easier it is to understand it and make a good decision. By increasing light on areas of knowledge, we increase our wisdom.

Light is electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the eye. But wisdom can be received from those people who are blind. So, the definition of light can also include the imparting of understanding: the teacher shed light upon a subject that I did not know about when I asked, and I understood; I received wisdom.

With my photographs, I strive to achieve effects that motivate conversations.

The inspiration behind the images on this website comes from a love of the outdoors, the changing seasons and the light spectrum.

Each day brings us forward with continually changing scenery. Be it more sunlight as we approach the Summer, wind that gives a different cloud pattern or leaves falling from trees as they go into hibernation for the Winter – there is always a photo opportunity.  All of them require the secret ingredient – LIGHT.

We are also drawn to the wonder of the light and events beyond our earthly home, through the Hubble telescope. The kaleidoscope of colours it reveals, together with the light received from the art I have seen in galleries, is the impetus for these photographic images.

The idea is that you look at these images and, potentially, see other pictures within them. The more depth they have, the more effective they are in what I am trying to achieve.

Some of my images have been very hard to photograph, in the form I’m looking for, as a finished article. Therefore, like most photographs, they are unique. I am continually exploring techniques to elicit mood reactions in the observer.

I hope that you enjoy the visual representations, as much as I have in trying to capture the different effects of light that we are immersed in each day.
