the last few years I have had many images published in photography magazines, local books and newspapers. I have also won several awards for my monochrome photography.
During 2010 I had one of my images commended by the judges of the Take a view - Landscape Photographer of the Year 2010 and won a place in the Awards book. In addition, it was displayed in the National Theatre exhibition. I also picked up 4 awards at the International Photography Awards. I have also received several other commendations from various worldwide photography competitions.
My passion for black white photography began with the classic images from great photographers. It wasn't until I discovered the more recent works of artists such as Michael Kenna that my interest really developed into more of an obsession. I have always had a very keen eye for lines and symmetry, so this style really appeals to me. I also love the simplicity of monochrome and the beauty that can be conveyed through contrast and light.
Living by the coast has provided me with a good amount of subjects and generally most of my long exposure shots are taken around the sea. Once I have found a location I feel will make a great mono shot, I will often return a few times to try and achieve the best possible results, which normally revolves around weather conditions and cloud movement. It’s a great feeling to find what seems like a very ordinary subject and transform this into something beautiful though long exposure photography.
