When I work with a model I try to create an atmosphere that is comfortable where all participants know what we are trying to achieve. I begin each new series with an idea or concept that will transform into at least 6 to 10 usable images. When my work is going well, I am filled with a sense of pleasure and more often relief. When people see my work, I’d like them to see the story first and the mechanics of the image second.
The ideas and concepts that I explore are influenced by photographers like Brassai, Bailey and Brandt. Artists that have had a profound impact on my work over many years are Fredrick McCubbin, Norman Lindsay and Fred Williams. Themes are often developed after meeting individual models but usually the ideas are built up over extended periods and then the model is selected for the project.
Currently I have several projects in various stages of development. The primary focus is a series influenced by Norman Lindsay which I am hoping will be used in a book. The “Bodyscapes” is never far from my thoughts and using horses and models is always a real thrill.

I know what I have, yet not always where it’s at….......

“If it is chaste, it is not art”. quote Pablo Picasso

“A life without art and artistic expression is an un-elegant life indeed. Words alone will never express the un-expressable as well as the stroke of a brush or a melody.” – Ottmar Liebert

I believe we mess up when we see what other people are doing and think it is a pathway to success when really it is a pathway to mediocrity. Make your personal work your personal vision and don’t compromise it for anyone. Do what you want and only what you want. Thanks for having a look at my work….......................
