I would like to communicate through photography. In many ways my work is still in formation, still testing and navigating. Several interests are prominent, which can be categorised as relationships. For example; relationships between people, between places/spaces and between feelings. I long for what I call sustained immediacy, which I understand to be eternal issues, relevant for human consideration. How to be a son, a friend, a meaningful, sensitive human, in the world, but also to be valuable to myself. What I put into the camera, and what comes out on the paper goes through an internal emotional process which I hope has resonance for all of us.
