VIBRANT LIGHTS

All of my photographs are of real lights taken in everyday places. They are not computer generated and very little is done in post-production. My aim is to create and capture a composition in the moment so that there is a true making of the work in situ. The light source comes from many different places that catch my eye and inspire me to create works. I might shoot the full moon, a cityscape, a rooftop, a lit building, christmas lights or fireworks. The lights are often motion blurred and bare no resemblance to their source. Instead they are free flowing compositions that I find exciting. My shots are captured through long exposure and deliberate movement of the camera body and lens. My photographs radiate with uplifting, dynamic light energy involving an inter-play of colour, line, shape, movement and composition. In my mind I like to imagine that I am capturing the electromagnetic energy of light that is beyond the vision of a human eye. I transform something that is familiar into an image that radiates with positive energy.
