Photography has played a major part in my life for over forty years now.
As everyone knows, you never really feel as if you have changed that much until you catch a glimpse of yourself in a mirror. I still, like many other people, feel as I did as a younger person, only a number separates you from the same outlook and feelings.
My desire to make images is stronger now than it ever was. I tried hard to find a particular genre of photography to settle on, but never really found it. This pleases me very much. In recent years, I have realised that a specific genre would never have satisfied my wide-ranging interests in visual media. Instead, I have come to understand that I have to create work that gives me pleasure without too much intellectual application, rather a trust in myself and intuition as my guides.
I am aware now that I am an artist who simply uses a camera to make lens-based imagery. One day I am an architectural photographer, the next a landscape photographer. More recently, I have returned to portraiture and the challenges photographing people brings. To take all your camera skills and knowledge to a sitting and then have to collaborate with another human being presents all sorts of possibilities, good and bad, but the rewards are more than worthwhile…
I know I can never stay in one role forever, so I will very happily embrace every subject that interests me and invest all my energies in that subject to achieve the successes that lie in wait.
