Photography allows me to capture the richness of what I see around me, and to encourage a closer vision of it. It is my way of showing the world to myself in new ways.
Adding elements of mixed media allows me to create unusual visual landscapes, reflecting what I see right under the surface, and bring out elements of mystery. I like to explore the boundaries between what is real and what is in my imagination. My work often includes elements of the mystical and the fantastic, combined with what is so commonplace that we have stopped looking at it closely. Often the story I want to tell is one of texture, of the impact of time on the subject. The patina of wear can be beautiful as well as thought-provoking.
I mostly shoot with wide angle lenses that get me close to my subject. I frequently capture images with my iPhone, because it is always with me. Any moment can provide an opportunity for me to explore what is around me.
I also do design work including book design, website graphics, flyers and promotional materials. I love typography and think that creative and well-chosen typography is at the heart of expressive design.
