Focal Points

The Tower Bridge amalgam is the most successful of a series of photos I have shot recently that attempt to disconcert the viewer and to question uninterrogated convictions about reality. Our old certainties are being eroded in the face of climate change, destructive populisms with associated reality-averse propaganda, and now Gaia’s revenge, Covid19.
With the help of my friends - and 100+ ballerinas around the world, I am currently working on self-publishing a fine-art coffee table book of ballerinas photographed on film. Dance is a universal subject, as is photography. Having a deep love for the darkroom, and ballet photography, I have combined those two subjects to create a meaningful body of work in over 15 countries, with a goal of 25 countries in total. Though at times it may not be as technically perfect as a digital photograph, a darkroom image speaks elegantly in a world saturated with sterile images.
