Noble Perspectives

The images in this exhibition are a selection from a platinum/palladium portfolio I’m currently working on called “the first fifty.” They represent the various people and places I’ve photographed during the first phase of my life as a photographer.

NaturalFORMS

I shoot film and print in the darkroom. For me, it’s the only way.
“Humans living in contemporary western society have, by large, severed their connection with nature. With my current self-portrait series, *Reconciliation*, I seek to reconnect with the natural world and introduce a sense of magic and wonder into modern life, which is oftentimes bereft of such simple pleasures.
The long exposures of pinhole photography allow me to create images in which I blend with – and can be overwhelmed by – my natural surroundings. This allows me to provide a visual commentary on man’s interconnectedness with nature and creates a symbiotic relationship between the two; the type of relationship that should exist not only in photographic imagery, but in the real world as well.”
