Automotive photography

A car is not just a car. It provides experience, be it convenience, excitement or other emotion. Anyone can photograph a car, but taking an image that leads us astray, involves and delays us, is creating a story – and not just a photograph.

Portraiture

An above-average image is transformative, a story in itself, an emboldening of memory, an improvement of self-esteem ... and, in its own way, The Truth. Not that photography does not lie (it does).

The perfect capture is before or after the moment the model expects the shutter to fall. The aim is to puncture the mask. Everyone wears masks. Some are obvious, others (such as those employed by actors) far more subtle. But the photo must push through those barriers, meaning a session can be confrontative. Not in an aggressive manner. Oh no, not that at all. But an intimate process, one which may only last a few seconds.
