About the artist:
My work is born from the emotions I go through daily. I like to compare it to a poet's writings where pen and paper is used to convey emotions of pain, love, fear, hate, lust. I use my camera to write emotions with light.
Concept work makes me tick. There is nothing I love more than taking an emotion, a feeling, a situation, and forming it into a visual statement. I am inspired by life, whether it is the hard bitter sad times that form us and makes us stronger, or the spiritual journeys that make s grow and blossom.
Mostly I portray my work in black and white because of its strong emotional emphasis. I feel that if unnecessary colour is added, it distracts from the core meaning. When I do add colour it is usually reds because of its dual nature – it is warm and inviting at times but can just as easily be alarming and urgent. I love human form, and always use that as subject when creating a poetic piece. I keep the images as real as possible – very little photo editing is applied, but when it is, it is only done to enhance the message of the photograph. I am always busy creating new pieces that vary from just one image or a series, depending on the message and concept behind it. Where better to draw inspiration from that living life…
