"I specialise in portrait pictures. I also have a fascination for
architectural, still life and landscape subjects.
My photography is an intuitive process. I try to place
myself so as to explore all facets, be they the statues on a building
or the spontaneous interaction between parent and child.
Timing is vital, capturing that moment of truth, be it between subject
and camera or among couples and groups.
I seek to discover the inner beauty of inanimate objects (such as the
Taj Mahal) and to create an artistically satisfying result. So, I set
a lot of store by the objective and formal considerations of viewpoint,
placement and composition in photography.
My approach to photography is influenced by my having
the gift of Aspergers syndrome: that is, my brain and nervous system function
somewhat differently to the norm. (Some may regard this as an obstacle),
but as a child, I was irritated by photos leaving off parts of heads,
and I grew up trying to channel my artistic sensitivity so as to create
a beautiful, polished result.
In short, the desire for logical perfection natural
to neurodiversity channels my artistic talent to create logically satisfying
results.
