ARTIST’S NOTES on PORTRAITURE “Why should we have to use our memory to remember a person's character, their lives, who they are and what was happening when we look at a photo of them? I want in my hand something that a stranger could look at and they would be able to feel who that person, family or group is at the point in time when the imagery was created. It needs to show character, mannerisms, interaction, location and those all important idiosyncrasies. It needs to speak for itself.”
What inspires your portrait photography? “My photography work is primarily based around people and portraiture. I’d say it’s greatly inspired by the people I’ve lost from my life. I regret with my whole heart that I didn’t create a stronger visual record of them. The pictures that I do have don’t record accurately enough who they were, how they lived their lives, their thoughts, their interactions with others and the world around them and lastly those amazing and silly idiosyncrasies that truly defined them. It’s something I wish I had now, but will sadly never be able to change. This fact combined with a love and fascination for people is what propels my photography work. I document my clients in exactly the same way I document my family and fortunately it seems to be very popular.”
