Although much of my recent work is digital, I was a traditional film photographer long before I picked up my Photoshop/Applemac combo, so most of my work I describe as "photography-based" digital. I try to combine the best of my traditional photographic skills with the almost endless creative possibilities of digital image manipulation in a controlled and restrained way. Much of my work is inspired by the sensual and the surreal, and a desire to impart some simple truth with clarity and directness, but also to touch a nerve by focussing on uncertainty, the unexpected, or the deliberately ambiguous.
For the past 3 years I've been selling my work as limited edition fine art digital prints, in editions of ten only, and have exhibited widely throughout the UK and had work featured in many publications, most recently being featured and reviewed in the British Journal of Photography (BJP) in November 2000. In 2001 I was awarded first prize in the Kentmere Awards (digital section) for my image "The Witness", and in 2002 I was a merit-awarded finalist in the London Photographic Awards (LPA.5) for a digital image created in response to a wonderful poem by Maya Angelou, "Come And Be My Baby".
I enjoy running an on-line gallery of personal work at www.pixelsoup.biz where I try to show recent work and past works together in a banner-free, image-rich and very easy-to-navigate site while I try hard the rest of the time to balance my more commercial freelance work with teaching and writing for a number of publications and web-based magazines.
My work is strongly influenced by surrealists, Ladybird book illustrations, sci-fi art, Fuel, Hipgnosis, the styles and traditions of 70's & 80's album cover art, 90's advertising, Irving Penn, Francis Bacon, and modern visual culture generally. (ends)
