Welcome to my
photo art galleries and blog
Be my guest...
..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.
