About this portfolio
My photographic interests are both broad and deep, but this portfolio is concerned mainly with street photography following the American photographic tradition set by Garry Winogrand, Lee Friedlander, Saul Leiter, Louis Stettner and Robert Frank.
I'm interested in surreal moments; the interchange of light and shade; the position of people to each other and to things; and the graphic forms that are presented by juxtaposition of shape and colours. All these things mark the confluence of events that pass in a split second, and can be noticed only by the observant eye and preserved only with the camera.
All images are real moments; neither set up or pre-visualised. A quick glance, a twist of the focusing ring, an adjustment of the aperture; the shutter is released for a thousandth of a second. The challenge is to balance timing of the shot with fluid motion. It's a brief dance and a blink of an eye.
