My Approach

What I am aiming for is an engaging image, maybe even a physical reaction at some level from the viewer. I love it when the finished work has that vibrancy and balance, and that attention to detail.

I work with two or three index images of my subject before I begin, so I can stay somewhat grounded in its reality. My favourite image type will capture the available light in an interesting way.

When I build a final image, like a painter I start with a lean outline. I will select a muted capture that meets my requirements for image structure; typically one to two stops under or over exposed. Once I have the foundation image set, I build; layers of light, texture, focus, and colour and expand on these until I have constructed my final image - a full colour palette and rendering of my subject with attention to details and aesthetics.
