I
can't remember exactly how old I was when my father gave me my first camera, but
I must have been about five or six.
A second-hand Halina 35mm compact loaded
with black and white film, I took pictures everywhere we went. I would help my father for hours in
his improvised darkroom, mesmerised as the
prints would magically appear in the developing dish. My first SLR was a Pentax S1a, a
simple but solid camera with a detachable light meter that was mounted over
the pentaprism, where a flash shoe would sit. I took my first tentative pictures
with slide film on this camera – Kodachrome
25, a slow and very fine-grained transparency film – learning about
manual exposure control and depth of field. Within
a few years I upgraded to the Spotmatic SP500, a
camera I took on my student travels to France, Spain, Egypt and Cuba. Following a brief period of ownership
of a medium-format Bronica ETRS, I bought into
Canon's EOS system with an EOS500, followed by a 100 and more recently a 30V. These cameras came with me to the USA,
Italy and Australia, as my passion – and style – grew. Having
finally gone digital with the EOS 1Ds mark III, my subject matter now
encompasses landscapes (both urban and rural); architectural and interiors;
details, close-ups and perspectives; observed humour (usually
formed by the coming together of disparate subjects within a scene); and
‘High Dynamic Range’ [HDR] hyper-real photography. Please
browse the Galleries for selected examples of my work, and contact me if you
wish to make a purchase or commission. |
