Artist's Statement - I am a self-taught photographer whose ethos is that camera equipment has now become so sophisticated that it is almost possible to let the technical aspects take care of themselves - the trick of a good picture, I believe, lies in the subject and composition of the shot.

My Work - My work is largely colour photographic print, sometimes from transparency printed using the Cibachrome process. Many of the pictures are spawned from my travels in Europe, the Far East, the Caribbean, and the Americas. I am drawn to recording the buildings, infrastructure, and architectural composition of a place rather than its people - I am fascinated with the photographer's ability to emphasise perspective by the way a shot is captured. I also work in monochrome where I experiment with enhancing contrast to produce stark, edgy images with a grainy "scene-of-crime" feel. Recently, I have become interested in computer-generated images (CGI), using this technology to produce surreal and fantastic "clones" of the original pictures.

Equipment - Canon EOS 30D digital camera, Canon EOS 500 and Canon EOS 10 SLR cameras, Canon 35-80mm, Canon 80-200mm and Sigma 24-70mm lenses, Centon FG30 flashgun, various filters. Fuji Finepix 7000 and Panasonic DMC - FX37 compact cameras.

Clients - In addition to serving a client-base throughout the UK, my pictures have found their way to places across the world  including:- The USA, Spain, China, and Denmark.
