Windows of discontent

Im looking at this image thinking about my inner thoughts and feelings at the moment, I'm playing with the bright becoming the dark.

Play Me Something

Recent shoot for two musicians. More details soon, I like something different.

Photography as Submission

     The Great Unreal

Visually these images make me question everything , it is not clear what the intent or meaning of the image is.  Which is why I love it. Was the photographer clear or this and how does this effect the practice.  Does it free them of the need to create 'meaning' which in itself makes it a much less honest/cathartic act? I am very interested in how these images act as a submission, that this moment and scene is worth consideration. I find these compositions and arrangements simply amazing and Ive not seen anything for a while that has really challenged my perception of the image and its creation, but most importantly giving me more questions than answers.

Dazed and Confused

  

               Björk | September 2004

I just spotted this cover, I love it. They seemed to have folded paper on top of the image itself, I am unsure. This idea of not knowing quite how or what the image is trying to say is something which I quite enjoy. The power of perception.

FREEDOM - Progress

What does a sense of freedom mean for you?

So my current project is going really well. Ive been exploring and creating some quite obscure compositions. I have been shooting objects, places and anything that I am instinctively drawn to, sometimes I cannot explain why. I have been experimenting with water and its symbolic visual qualities on top of my work.

It seems the image is never enough for me, in previous projects I have torn my work, this physical connection is something which I want to explore and question further. Why is it I feel the need to delve further into thought about my images and alter them, distort them. I think my work is in a way autobiographical. I do in a sense feel free, where as before I felt trapped.

Image making is cathartic to me, I never know where its going to take me and its this what excites me so about it. What is real about these images and what isn't? Where is this going to take me? By pushing my own boundaries of image making?

Any thoughts?

Shadow Catchers - Camera-less Photography

I like forms in my work to raise questions.
Is there a spiritual element to being alive?
                                                      Is there a spiritual element
                                                      to my past experiences?

Nigel Doll in Paris (Waiting for Aaron Doll...)

I feel lucky to be at the center of one of Nigel Grimmer`s latest pieces. Meeting him last month was also a delight. I think this image is beautiful, as is his approach to his other projects which you must check out here.
