Welcome to my photo art galleries and blog

Be my guest...

thumbnail of Three Part Fugue With Inversion..and make your way down the walkway to the galleries.

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! See my new range of Mommy / playdate cards or my best-seller a Desiderata poster on "I Have Time" (links open in a new window)

 

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.

 

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.

What's new...

2nd September: More vid tuts

I've recorded some more and incorporated them all into this site. The latest is a reworking in High Definition of on I did ages called Perfect Contrast. WIth the technology at the time it wasn't so easy to see the subtelties of the effect. You'll be pleased to know that it's now obvious in HD so wander over and have a look!

24th August: New Vid Tut

I've recorded a new Photoshop video tutorial in HD - see it over on my blog. It shows a 2-step finishing effect for your photos that will subtly bring a viewer's attention into the centre of your photos.

Here's one with Desiderata that uses the technique...

22nd August: New work

The shots I took on my sojourn to Dartmoor a few weeks ago are now uploaded and in the online galleries here (see tabs at the top). Those and a couple of others. You can see them all by clicking this link.

 

8th August

I was up on Dartmoor last week and came away wth some great shots of the free-running ponies you find there. It's the first time I've shot specifically for an exhibition, one starting in just a few days' time at the Duchy Square Centre For Creativity in Princetown on the moors.

You can see some of them on my blog.

 

1st August: New exhibition

I'm taking part in an exhibition at the Duchy Square Centre in Princetown (map) — all about ponies on Dartmoor, running until 6th September (the exhibition, not the ponies!).

 

Exhibitions / Galleries

The main gallery where I show is at the Martin Bush Studio Gallery in Royal William Yard (map). When you see them "in the flesh" at the gallery you'll be amazed. I'm told they look really good here on my website but they look so much better framed and on the wall.

In addition I have showings in Kaya Galleries on the Barbican, in the Duchy Square Centre in Princetown (map) and in the Gallery Guest House, Plymouth.
