"These works were captured over a five-year period from 1998-2003. I am a self-taught photographer, and don't produce or enhance my work digitally, Solely working in traditional methods and techniques using a fully manual Olympus OM1.
Photography, is a way of extracting and preserving visually appealing and attractive memories from the animation that we encounter daily. Rarely portraying political themes or personal beliefs, I just try to capture the personality of my subjects (models and objects), and the surrounding atmosphere that they are in, be it comfortable or a more uneasy shadowy compositions. Giving the same treatment to my scapes whether it is land, sea or the metropolis, be it in the light of day or night. Photography has many advantages: the solitude, the fantastic illuminating objects and the deep darkness contrasting with the light that can be used to throw details into blackness.
My influence for colour photography comes from another discipline, painting. From this and with the use of abstract composition in some and strong colour saturation in others I try to project an array of expressions that stem from nature and the surreal world. "
