Welcome to my photo art galleries and blog

I've started to dabble in colour photography - as you'll see in this portfolio 
Through My Inner Eye

You can use the tabs above to navigate to the main areas of the site, or use the sitesearch (top right) as a way in.

Enjoy my work, each image highlighting something special I've found that I want to share with you. Most are available on a range of quality products at Zazzle.com or Zazzle.co.uk - something for everyone! (links open in a new window)

The New Cononance / Urban Ugly - best viewed at full screen HD/720p

I love black and white / monochrome (mono tab above), my genre of choice for now, and you'll find abstract, architectural, landscape and observational bw images there. I do occasionally stray and you can see the results in the colour and flora galleries.

 

Present focus

Right now I'm working on my Urban Pretty porfolio. This is a response to my earlier Urban Ugly photo essay, a subset of which was commissioned by the BBC

Here is one of them, as used for the cover image of the January 2012 issue of The Plymouth Magazine

I'm driven by...

Every artist has something that drives them on. For me, it's the interplay between:

  • light and line
  • tone and texture
  • pattern and perspective 
  • structure and abstraction

I explore their interaction through my camera lens and in the digital darkroom, often using black and white and accentuated contrast as a revealer. Hopefully the final image is one you'll relate to. Watch the slideshow above and see what I mean by those bullet-points...

What's new...


19th February 2012

Gallery updates: I've added a number of images across all galleries.

Website updates: Today I removed all the Google Friend Connect feaatures on this webite, apart from on my blog section. This follows Google's announcement to remove support for it anywhere other than Blogger blogs at the end of Feb.

Thank you everyone who rated, reviewed or commented on my work but unfortunately, it's now all gone.

Zazzle store updates: Zazzle have recently added throw pillows and various laptop / iPad / Macbook sleeves by Rickshaw, so I've been adding my designs to them, as well.

   

30th January 2012

I have a bunch of photos ready to upload to the galleries here. You can see some of them in the slideshow above, with the previous most recent via this search link.

I've continued to stock my online store over at Zazzle with new designs, expanding my greetings card range extensively. (In honour of the Chinese Year of The Dragon, I even made Chinese Dragon tableware with some artwork I had hanging around.)

   

In my Zazzle store my Desiderata range of posters / prints / canvases is proving very popular - here's one using my "Wishing Window" image that's really tranquil, well suiting the words, and which would make a great bedroom wall poster:

 

Inspirational guidance

The full Desiderata by Max Ehrmann. Go placidly amidst the noise and haste... An empty wishing window beckons you on to contemplate the future.

This poem has inspired young adults who are coming of age since the 1920's and is as popular today as it ever was. It's been given as a gift by loving parents, grandparents, godparents and aunts and uncles as essential life-wisdom ever since it was written.

They've found it to be one of the few ways for such wisdom to get past those raging hormones and support the upcoming generation especially through their rebellious years!
