From an early age photography has always been a passion of mine .The creative process was intriguing to me as well as the power to capture a moment in time. Photography was more than black and white, it was being able to see in colour. We have a responsibility in this world to record and expose the beauty as it is.

Artist Statement
I am an Artist,I create because this is what I believe I am meant to do.
When I am creating I feel a sense of exhilaration and know that this is who I am.
The feeling of comfort and enthusiasm is what drives me to challenge my creativity.
The best part of what I do is to create photographs that I am proud of, defining a subject and portraying it to the best of my ability .I believe I have been given the gift of being able to see images and visualize the end result.
My eye is constantly searching for images looking for patterns ,textures and how the light is effecting the subject. I visit the subject and admire and respect its beauty, then I dissect it looking at every possible angle to portray it at its best.
I fall in love easily with my subjects and have a feeling of attachment and leave with a lonely feeling of detachment.
I am happy when I feel I have depicted it at its best, and sad when I have failed and this failure brings me back to the subject and the challenge of creating the image that I set out to do and proud of .
