Artistic Mission
To produce artistically original fine art photographs. Using advanced digital darkroom tools, I create a personal rendition based on lasting impressions of a scene. I strive for technically excellent and impactful photos, rich in detail and with the utmost clarity.
Background
My passion has always been for the arts. Initially trained in recording engineering & music production, my career started in the audio industry. Fascinated by computer graphics, I then worked as a multimedia artist and 3D animator for more than a decade, until I found my true calling.
After relocating overseas in 2008, I was hooked by the creative potential of photography. I love to capture unique natural environments. Having a background in digital media allowed me to employ the latest digital darkroom technologies to maximize the visceral impact of natural scenes.
Photographic Strategy
While location is important to great landscape photography, recognizing and utilizing the right light is critical. The golden hour around sunrise and sunset often provides light that is both soft and vibrantly colourful. Planning ahead using computer mapping applications that identify sunrise, sunset and location coordinates allows for a more productive use of time. It can take several attempts at the same location for all elements to come together but when they do it’s magic. That magic is what I try to infuse into my photos.
Photographic Techniques
Proper focus, exposure, and composition are essential. I also employ a variety of advanced photographic techniques including;
High Dynamic Range (HDR), long exposure night photography, and high resolution panoramic images.
