“The understanding of natural light is everything for me. My compositions come from patience and a momentary stillness - even within a candid capture. The initial ‘seeing’ is the foundation of an engaging image and the story that can follow. My aim is to compose a photo that has an emotional impact, evoke story, invites contemplation, is compelling , engaging or perhaps visually intriguing. Just one of these is enough to make me feel fullfilled. Sometimes all align.”
