| Artist's Statement: |
| I have been a photographer for twenty-five years and I create limited edition photographic works and digital fine art. All my work begins its life as a photograph using a digital SLR camera, which I favour for the artistic freedom it can give to my work and, depending on the subject, I may alter the original so that it is quite different from what the eye sees. Many of my photographs are of landscapes and that usually leads me to a detailed study of what I see within the landscape. For instance, I may produce an image of the pebbles on a beach or the fine detail within the folded petals of a flower, both revealing something new to close scrutiny. With some images, as a result of working digitally, I will make changes that give a painterly effect. I can restrict the use of certain colours to create a warm or a cold tone for instance. Often I will create multiple copies of an image that are treated in different ways and then use a variety of blending modes until I have achieved the effect I want. Though many scenes are local to me they are not intended to record a particular location but rather describe the atmosphere and the emotion of the place. I am concerned with the play of light on land and sea and I aim is to produce an image that invokes in the viewer an emotional attachment to the scene. |
