Dear Patron
I invite you to view my SIGNATURE collections.
The work comprises single photographs or series which I believe constitute valuable and important career milestone images. Specially chosen to endorse by representation my understanding of the fundamentals or DNA of the photographic genres I choose; ie. 'decisive moment’ urbanscape/landscape/street, still life, abstract and portraiture.

Specially chosen to endorse by representation my understanding of the fundamentals or DNA of the photographic genres I choose; ie. 'decisive moment’ urbanscape/landscape/street, still life, abstract and portraiture.
I hope that by exploiting this knowledge the work speaks of a subtle beauty, often laced with a tense incongruity, all the while achieving my ultimate aim, and that is to create compelling art photography.
NB: I limit my SIGNATURE EDITIONS to very low numbers.
For your reference;
EXTRA LARGE & LARGE PRINTS
- 3 (three) prints per series + 1 artist proof.
- 5 (five) prints per series + 1 artist proof.
My ratiionale for such a low edition number;
scarcity has a value
- The prints you are buying are unusual and uncommon. Low numbers mean the editions sell out. I want you to have something that can no longer be bought.
