Art photography is driven by the photographer's artistic objectives and vision, rather than solely focusing on documentation or commercial purposes.
Images often explore ideas, emotions, or descriptions, going beyond simple representation. 
Poetography is a captivating fusion of poetry and photographic imagery, where the power of the poem sparks the creation of the image, resulting in a unique and inspiring art form.
Images that explore complex ideas, social issues, or emotional narratives. 
Alongside alternative art forms, art photography is being increasingly showcased in cultural and galleries. 

Viewers are presented with the opportunity to interact with images in novel and significant ways as a result of the unique perspectives they possess. 
While fine art photography isn't just about taking pictures for documentation, it can still be a powerful way to tell stories and capture the human experience.
 Each Poetograph is a testament to this unique approach, providing a new avenue for artists to investigate and communicate the depth of human experience, thereby establishing Poetography as a unique and innovative art form.
At art college, I quickly found that poetry and photography are distinct art forms. The objective of photopoetry is to establish a connection between poems and photographs while simultaneously preserving their individuality. Following are the steps involved in the creation of a Poetograph: 

Each Poetograph is a testament to this distinct approach, offering a new pathway for artists to explore and convey the richness of human experience, establishing Poetography as a singular and innovative art form, generated by incorporating text into the image.
 Perhaps turning a lived experience into a memorable representation is a common interest among poets. A work of art? 
Both take pleasure in gathering, organizing, compiling, editing, publishing, sequencing, and arranging.
In my writing, I think about life and pay close attention to the small details of nature. I want my readers to feel connected to the beauty and wonder around them. 
So many years writing poetry on so many themes - love poems for cards of all descriptions. Stories untold.
And Song lyrics. 

Wandering Eye, a winning poem published by The Hamilton Ridge Poetry journal.
Another winning poem - When a Writer Falls in Love With You was published in The Newcastle Press Poetry Review.
Due to my extensive travels, I have developed a more comprehensive understanding of the world and have undergone significant personal growth. I have acquired a more profound appreciation for the diversity of human experience, evolved and adaptability. I discovered that my sense of home is less associated with a particular location and more closely linked to the individuals and experiences that I have encountered.
