WritingPhotography

Hey there, thank you for having a look at my page.

I've been involved with photography for a long time, and I am an experienced photo printer (professional experience). However, I have not often worked as a photographer, until now, that is.

A few years ago, I've taken up street photography and have now moved on to studio and model photography. I'm interested in people and the relationship between internal emotions and their exteriorisations ~ how the shape and the expressions on our faces, and the motions of our bodies can convey or reveal the deepest hidden parts of our emotional lives.

I'm planning to start self-publishing zines where my photography and my writing (poems, stories, notes) merge, interact, and create some sort of narrative flow.

I mostly take film pictures, although I have access to professional digital equipment. At the moment I'm experimenting with alternative processes, such as caffenol and/or vitamin C. I've started making my own film, just painting orthochromatic emulsion on acetate, but that has failed to produce acceptable results as of yet.

I have now worked with quite a few models over the course of just over two years. Although I only had sparse photo sessions, I've spent a lot of time reflecting on the process and purpose of image making. I feel ready to move on to bigger challenges and I'm looking forward to my second year of studio sessions! All of the models I worked with are on PurplePort, their pictures on my page have links to their profiles, and they all have my gratitude for having put up with me and my slow way of working.

I've worked with more models than are on my port though... I'm falling behind with developing and editing!

If there is anything you think I can do for you, please get in touch: I'm looking forward to getting involved with new and exciting creative projects!
