Why Photography?

On a recent work / photographic stint to Ayers Rock, I realised I was once again by myself photographing a landscape long after all other photographers had left the scene. Standing there got me thinking of what attracts me to photography and what drives my passion?

There is something about taking a photographic image that captures a moment which immortalises the soul with the energy of that scene. I find being in a location at a beautiful time of day is a unique experience which personalises my memory. For me, the more unique the location the more soul clarifying it is. The time and effort to record and actual image is not proportional to its personal value. It’s more about the uniqueness of an image. Uniqueness is defined not only by what it shows, but what is does not show. Infused colour or the absence of footsteps in a desert dune scene is equally important.

Once I have captured an image, it is mine. Sure I am happy to share, but it would be an incredible image if it induced my feelings in that of the viewer. Please feel free to view my work. I hope at least some of my soul can be seen somewhere in each image. Flickr is just some of my images and is by no means an exhaustive portfolio. If you feel something from my images or you have a question, please drop in an email!
