El Abandonado
The scene was flipped horizontally to suit my artistic vision for the piece.
I've always found creativity fulfilling and have enjoyed photography for many, many years, shooting first with film SLRs and then progressing on to digital SLRs once the technology started to improve. Having been working in IT throughout my career, and therefore being confident with PC-based tools, it allowed me to realise the potential that digital photography offered. That's when things started to get more serious.
Producing fine art allows me the creative freedom to use techniques that result in an image that reveal an alternative reality, uncovering hidden aspects of the subject. For example, long exposure photography is a technique that allows the capturing of the magic and beauty of a scene that the human eye would never otherwise see, yet it is still reality.
