I am an art photographer based in the West Kootenays, in beautiful British Columbia, Canada. My style can loosely be classified as photo-impressionism. Photo-impressionism allows for the abstraction of subjects, providing much more character than with a representational photo. Photo-impressionism makes it possible to express feelings without having to say a word, and to put down thoughts, dreams, and fleeting moments in time, when a small change in light can make the difference between utterly glorious and plain drab. Perhaps more than anything, the concepts of photo-impressionism make me pay attention to colour. I play with colour and use it almost as if it were the subject itself, which, in a way, it is, at least in photography. Light is colour. For my work, I use a Nikon digital SLR. I process my work in Photoshop, and print on fine art papers using a Hewlett Packard printer and Vivera inks.
