'Light Imitating Art'
My LIGHT IMITATING ART series is shot in studio. I explore mechanical ways of altering light sources, creating black & white images that appear more like charcoal sketches than photographs. I am drawn to surrealism, images borne out of dreams and the creative sub-conscience. It is in this exciting experimentation with light, that a figure or reference to a slightly definable object may emerge. Often the question: what am I looking at? The answer is simply, light.

In 1997 I made the transition from executive producer in film to fine art photographer. Since, I have been exploring abstraction, producing work that is more about texture, colour and composition and less about representational subject matter.My LIGHT IMITATING ART series is shot in studio.
