Photography – London

I was born and raised in London where my relationship with photography came to light. I discovered photography at 9 years old I couldn’t wait to own a camera of my own someday. Looking down the lens was like a different world, One of my favourite subjects to photograph is water, I remember as a child watching a dripping tap and noticing the different shapes and forms the drops would take and how the light passed through it. I wanted to slow it down and see the results of its impact on the water surface below, ‘cause & effect’, the repercussions were very short-lived and easily missed by the naked eye. ‘Colour in Motion’ captures the characteristics of Water under different circumstances. My approach to this subject is varied and often experimental. I have spent many years 
experimenting and observing closely its many varied forms it adopts in different circumstances. Capturing my findings has allowed me to study and record Colour in Motion, its transforming shapes & colours as it freely takes on its own direction and tones. The colours themselves carrying little or no commitment to the ebb & flow of the water as it takes on the body of life; taking us out of our sphere influence and bringing others in to it
