Capturing a Moment
This body of work “Capturing a Moment” is inspired by an old SLR camera. Deconstructed to reveal its inner workings as visual inspiration to translate into three-dimensional design.
These are a series of wearable sculptured pieces made using a mix of precious metals, textiles, paper and plywood; challenging notions of material values in tandem with digital and analogue processing.
I feel that much of photography has lost its soul. Images, when they have a soul, allow our sensitivity to engage with the subject, to create empathy with what we see. I believe that this sense of contact changes our state of mind. As such, my photography explores different levels of reality: the reality of who or what is described by the image, and the reality of experience and feeling - whether the subject’s, the viewer’s, my own. This is what we bring to the image and, once transformed, take away with us.

about the photographer
I am a fine-art photographer based in South Wales.I feel that much of photography has lost its soul. Images, when they have a soul, allow our sensitivity to engage with the subject, to create empathy with what we see. I believe that this sense of contact changes our state of mind. As such, my photography explores different levels of reality: the reality of who or what is described by the image, and the reality of experience and feeling - whether the subject’s, the viewer’s, my own.
