EXHIBITION WORK
Over the past ten years I have indulged in photographing things within my field of vision through the lens of my camera and then returning to my digital darkroom. It is here that I try to recreate what I saw and felt around me at that time and why I took the picture.Never aspiring to be a “ wildlife “ photographer as I lack the patience to be still and quiet for long periods, I am attracted by colour and textures. I realize that I am a frustrated artist that cannot draw and perhaps cross the imaginary fine line between photography and art.
I hope my work translates my feelings & thoughts by evoking more than one sense, that of sight, when being viewed. If you can feel the wind, smell the grass, hear the birds, even taste the dust through the images then they have ‘worked’. Sometimes a ‘straight’ image says it all eg The Fly on a Fern – just the simplicity of colours and the artistry of nature in the shape of the Fern and droplets of dew on the Fly.
‘Survival’ is more of a thought provoking image with the endangered species African Cow Elephant and her baby, going deeper than just a photograph.
Thank-you for taking the time to share these images by not just looking but feeling them too.
