My Personal work draws upon my almost 30 years of combined professional experience in commercial photography and the film and TV industries. It is focused on creating elaborately lit and highly detailed conceptual tableau images. Exploring the idea that as mankind develops ever newer technologies, most specifically in the field of communications, we as a society are silently participating in the disposal of ever increasing slices of own humanity as we discard older technologies. Slowly at first, but growing in pace, mankind's thinking is forever changed by this process. From the outset, my tableaux are meticulously planned and crafted to be highly detailed 1.2 to 1.8 meter wide prints destined for a collectors wall. Seemingly small but extraordinarily detailed elements with in the frame combine to construct a narrative, only to then reveal a clue which leaves more unanswered questions. Shattering the construct of the narrative as was first perceived. And asking, perhaps demanding the viewer to slow down our thoughts, place more value on better communication and critical though, and less on seeking more volume.
