THIS IS ME

BA Photography student at Brighton University

"For me, the camera is a sketch-book, an instrument of intuition and spontaneity, the master of the instant which in visual terms, questions and decides simultaneously. In order to give a meaning to the world, one must feel involved in what one singles out through the viewfinder. This attitude requires concentration, sensitivity, a discipline of mind and a sense of geometry.

It is through economy of means and above all by forgetting oneself that one arrives at simplicity of expression.

to photograph is t hold one's breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality. It is at that precise moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy.

For me, photography is to place head, heart and eye along the same line of sight. It is a way of life."
