The work below are a selection of the personal projects I have completed recently. All of this work is captured in camera and were then manipulated heavily in post processing [with the exception of the Wimmera landscapes]. I have always had a particular preference for the abstract in photography. The camera as a tool too often dominates the process of imaging making, causing us to be satisfied with its output alone. For me it has has always been just the initial component of the process of willing an idea into existance. From the very outset all these works were intended to be printed in large format.
