I'm an amateur photographer learning, well, hopefully learning as I go. I've sold a print or two here and there and sold the copyrights to some work but for all intents and purposes I am very definitely a card carrying, flag waving amateur. I'm new here so I'm not sure of the etiquette, but please feel free to comment and critique my gallery.....seriously, so long as it's constructive I have no problem at all with criticism so please feel free to tear me to shreds should you see an area for improvement.
Jul 29th, 2011I am an obsessive general photographer though I haven't yet photographed a General. I started taking photographs when I was fifteen years old. I more or less stopped taking photographs when I was in my mid twenties, when music took over as my main interest. In 2008 I bought my first DSLR, a Nikon D40x and photography has taken over my world once more. I quickly out grew the D40x and after about six months shooting with it I bought the D300 which I love to bits. I love everything about photography except of course the cost of equipment. In most of my images I try to describe how the location made me feel when I was there, to express and prompt an emotional response rather than merely describe a place or a moment. Whether or not I succeed in achieving this is for you to decide. My world through my eyes coloured by my life experiences. I hope you find something of interest among my many and varied images. My Photography Equipment: Nikon D300 Fuji S2Pro Sigma 10-20mm Great for landscape/waterscape work. Opens up many creative opportunities due to the perspective distortion that it creates. Sigma 18-200mm An excellent all rounder. Good for most landscape/waterscape situations, portrait, nature and great for street work. Sigma 70-300mm Good for portrait, wildlife, sport and close up work. Nikon AFNikkor24-85mm 1:2 macro f2.8-f4 A good all rounder, studio, portrait, street, close up work. Nikkor f1.8 50mm This is a great way to force yourself to really think about what you are doing, fixed focal length. Makes you move about a lot more than working with a zoom and concentrate on composition. I sometimes go out with just this lens. Sigma f2.8 28mm filtermatic. Same applies as with the Nikkor above. Tamron SP-90 AF f2.8 1:1 Macro. Ideal for extreme close up work and perfect for portraiture. This is a very sharp lens indeed. Manfrotto tripod with ball head. Essential for landscape/waterscape, low light, HDR shots and when massive depth of field is needed (very small aperture) Benbo Trekker tripod with Kennet ball head for close up and macro work outdoors. Cokin circular polarisor Cokin ND grads 2, 4, and 8 Cokin ND 8 ND100 10 stop These filters are always with me, they are the basic aids to controlling contrast and exposure duration, especially in landscape/waterscape.

Apr 26th, 2011Much of my work begins with subjects related with death, with the strange, the sick, the pathological, the withdrawn from the common. It appeals to the beauty that is within what strays from the mainstream taste, to the enjoyment of the morbid and the decadent, not because of a superficially provoking attitude, but because of the conviction that beauty does not have a fixed nor defined parameter, with every project being an attempt of making the reflection and direct contemplation of the human decadence sublime. I play with the duality, with the metaphor, the beauty of what is “ugly”
