Icarus
There was quite a bit of movement amongst the fulmars, so I decided to try and capture it with a 2 second exposure. I could not have hoped for better timing or trajectory.
I view the camera as a tool and a photograph as Art - I am not overly concerned with representing reality in the photographic process. My images inevitably have a painterly feel to them that may only peripherally maintain the veneer of photography. The infinite possibilities are what I most like about the digital photographic process.

about the photographer
My art is personal, atmospheric and unashamedly dark. I take inspiration from painters such as Salvator Rosa and the sublime landscapes of 18/19th century Romantics like Caspar David Friedrich. I am fascinated by the lure of the natural world and my own emotional response to it.I view the camera as a tool and a photograph as Art - I am not overly concerned with representing reality in the photographic process.
