graphics and graffiti

I love subtle light.
I love strong light.
I love, graphics, graffiti and urban decay.
I love hi tech and lo tech.
I love colour and black & white.
I love movement and static shots.
I want to keep my mind open and my eyes peeled for anything that catches them….

graphics, graffiti, nyc and nigel sylvester

collating my images for a self published book of nyc urban portraits and couldn’t resist posting these – one of which includes bmx legend Nigel Sylvester
Took some action shots as well but I just preferred the graphics of this simple straight on – even if it was a bugger of a shot to compose!!!

twilight portraits

I love shooting at twilight…I love the subtle beauty of the light and the changing colours and sometimes I just sit and watch it fade without ever pressing the shutter.
Sometimes I think I’m obsessed by light.

Its funny because, by default, you find yourself defined even if you don’t want to be or strive not to be.

I like to think of myself as someone who takes photos of anything that interests me.
Sometimes I’m the ‘flash’ guy.
Sometimes I’m just chasing the ambient looking for a natural light you don’t find with strobes.
Sometimes I shoot big moody skies with little people in the landscape.
Other times I shoot portraits wide angle, low angle and direct. But mostly, I don’t want to sit back in my comfort zone.
Mostly I just want to watch, capture and craft the ever changing light I see around me.
