As an experienced photographer, (I have done it professionally but am just into the art side of it now) I use and enjoy the medium to express my artistic vision. Sometimes I indulge in Cityscapes, but my passion is street photography. I exhibit my work in both solo and collaborative shows. My last solo exhibition was a collection of my Street Portraits @ my pop up gallery in Hull City Centre, where it was well received, lots of great comments... "I’ve enjoyed looking at your photos more then a lot of art I’ve seen" I have also exhibited at established galleries such as the Islington Arts Factory, and the Greenpoint gallery in NYC, amongst others. My Cityscapes sell well wherever I have had them on show. With street portraits I'm often drawn to people living on the edges of society, eccentric characters etc and I enjoy engaging with them in the process.
It's an ongoing project, I have a large body of work which is constantly updating, growing. While walking and exploring with my camera I get lost in my own world and thoughts, it's almost a form of meditation, I photograph anything that inspires me at the time, be it a street shot, a portrait or a Cityscape. Street photography is recording social documentary in real time, ergo today's street photography is tomorrow's social history. I don't like to over contextualize my work, I prefer the viewer brings their own experiences and interpretations, we all see differently.
