Colour in Motion captures the characteristics of
Water under different circumstances. My
approach to this subject is varied and often
experimental. I have spent many years
experimenting
and observing closely its many varied forms it
adopts in different circumstances. Capturing my
findings has allowed me to study and record Colour
in Motion, its transforming shapes & colours
as it freely takes on its own direction and tones. The
colours themselves carrying little or no
commitment to the ebb & flow of the water as it
takes on the body of life; taking us out of our
sphere influence and bringing others in to it.
Bio
I was born and raised in London where my
relationship with photography came to light. I
discovered photography at 9 years old. I couldn't
wait
to own a camera of my own someday.
Looking down the lens was like a different world, a
form of escapism. A world that, at that age, I
thought only I knew in that way because it was
viewed through my eyes.
One of my favourite subjects to photograph is water,
I remember as a child watching a dripping
tap and noticing the different shapes and forms the
drops would take and how the light passed
through it. I wanted to slow it down and see the
results of its impact on the water surface below,
cause & effect, the repercussions were very short-
lived and easily missed by the naked
eye. Water can be calming, graceful, tranquil,
powerful, strong, still or free flowing. When my
work is viewed I hope the viewer will feel the energy
of the water as it was captured and enjoy the
ethereal qualities of the forms as they have a delicate
beauty that makes the image seem
not to be part of the real world.
Once I discovered a camera was used to record &
document our environments, my world opened
up. I like to capture parts of my subjects and leave a
little to the imagination. I look for the
interesting in the ordinary; it seems to sharpen my
senses. I enjoy the way black and white blends
together and the varying shades and tones in the
spectrum and looking for texture, shadows and
reflections. The outcome is a personal exploration of
my subject matter. I am always aiming, for
the point at which form, function and meaning
intersect seamlessly. Capturing visual rhythms in
natural flow is a way of gaining a glimpse of our
environment we barely notice or have words for
but connects us all.
