I’ve loved photography for as long as I can remember. Even when I was young I wanted to capture memories and details so I could hold onto them forever. I travelled the world and found myself drawn to not only the sights that I saw, but the interpretations of those places by photographers and other artists. I picked up an SLR along the way and started my own journey as a photographer.
4 years ago we moved from the UK to Arizona, where new light inspired me to take the plunge, learning and investing to make photography more than a hobby. Moving away from friends and family, Arizona felt so completely outside anything I had ever experienced. With my all senses ignited, I found myself trying to capture the entire scene or the entire moment, more than what it looked like. I wanted my viewers in the UK to see how it felt, be it the wind in the trees, the ferocious heat of the desert, or a moment that lingers like a instant dream-like memory.
After three years our family moved again, this time to Massachusetts and I was re-inspired by another new light. Through all these changes my style has become predominantly characterized by using in-camera creative techniques to create a dream-like ideal. Whether it is with intentional camera movement, double exposures, shooting through objects or freelensing, there are always extra elements that can be incorporated into an image to transport the viewer to the moment or place in a unique way.
In October 2018 we were unexpectedly ordered to leave the USA. Three weeks later we were back living back in the UK wondering what the heck just happened.
In December 2018 my first solo exhibition, Imag[in]e, opened in Acton, MA. Imag[in]e is the culmination of those first experiences and explorations of New England. It is a unique and finite interpretation of what I left behind, and my most proudest moment.
Thank you for being here; thank you for pushing me to be the best artist I can be.
Love~
