I describe myself as a photographic artist, with my camera as a means of gathering images that can be used to convey an idea or message, rather than a photographer using a camera just to record what is in front of the lens.

I view the world with an eye for material that can be manipulated to produce high-impact vibrant images. Many of my images relate to contemporary issues, from the global environment to personal experiences that many people have been through. My challenge is to use my imagination and eye for composition and colour to create artworks that make viewers think about the content to raise their awareness of and consider specific issues from a different perspective.
