We are what we do

I am a photographer. That's who I am, and I am what I do.

Photographers' are known to be free-spirited, imaginative and creative. I love photography because it allows me to explore all of the above. I can explore and imagine the world, or even smaller object, through the lens, creating my perspective of the image I see. My passion for photography allows me to be a completely different person, away from the daily me.

I do however have a preference in the photos I take. I like detail, the organisational trait in me, where any simple object can be defined by a minute aspect. This intricate beadwork in lace on this stunning wedding dress for example.

Then, I enjoy those romantic moments that tell a story, as the saying goes "a picture is worth a thousand words". These images I capture are intended to be breath-taking, allowing the viewer to be in awe or speechless whilst knowing the tale behind it.

Lastly, I utterly love seizing those precious seconds of oblivion, where the object (usually an inanimate object) is completely unaware and soaked up in their thoughts and actions. I try to portray the beauty of natural movement. Often these are the moments that take precedence over any other picture.
