I'm an artist from Lewes, East Sussex who specialises in the photographic arts. I was exposed to the art world from an early age visiting exhibitions, historic properties and museums across England and Wales. I studied black and white photography in the United States when I was in my early teens shooting street photography in Reading and Philadelphia using 35mm film with my first SLR camera - a Canon Rebel TI. It opened up a whole new world of possibilities for me and allowed me to explore photography at a much deeper level. While I was living in Exeter, Pennsylvania attending junior high school I learnt how to develop and print my own photographs in a traditional darkroom, and remember the complex noxious smells from the chemicals used in such spaces like it was yesterday; thankfully digital photography has made the developing process into a much simpler and welcome one! My interest in photography began early on at the age of 7 or 8 when I made a pinhole camera for a school project. I was amazed something so simple as a cardboard box with a special piece of paper inside of it could produce something so mysterious and wonderful as a photograph. My first camera was a Polaroid; I fondly remember the chunky design and hum it made as it churned out individual pictures like Kraft Singles. I have always had a camera, whether it's a simple point and shoot or something you might find in a studio, my relationship with photography is a long and intimate one born out of curiosity and passion. I like all types of photography, and enjoy the freedom being an artist gives you as a photographer to explore the language. I master all of my photographs and have developed my editing skills so I can realise their full potential. My photography has been widely published and was exhibited for the first time at Bastille Design Centre in central Paris, not far from where Van Gogh used to live when he resided there in 1886-1888.
