Diversification

As can be seen on this website, I am a nature lover and am entranced by the extraordinary detail I can see in my very small subjects when using a macro lens. Essentially, I’m a nature photographer.

A nature photograph should show the subject in its natural environment, otherwise how would we know what we're looking at, but I like to explore other possibilities too. Still-life photography and composites can be great exercises in composition and light, or in the evocation of another time or place. They can even provide the opportunity to suggest a story, or create meaning. I find this very interesting, and even more so when incorporating a live subject, though I would stress here that I photograph them separately, free and unencumbered in their natural environment before placing them in position, post-processing, in a composite.

Temptation doesn't end there, of course, landscapes and interesting people are already evident here, and are joined now by still-life, composites, and the beauty of patterns.
