About Me

I am a fine art photographer who’s images have also been featured in a wide variety of commercial applications including: book cover illustrations, advertising and a large selection of magazines.
My images document the objects, rituals and beliefs that people rely on – the most basic human emotional responses to the things we think we need. They are simple stories, exploring reoccurring patterns of human existence. I am interested in the magic and mysticism in everyday life.
