| (b 1968) Raised with twin lens reflex in hands. Studied hotel management, fled to London moving into retail, business development, marketing services, strategic planning. Landed in Paris where I am currently living with son and wandering the streets of said ville in spare time. And to my photographs...it was Henry Moore who said, "Art is the expression of imagination, not the duplication of reality." Yet this is where street photography starts to blur its artistic line a little; indeed we could ask where this particular sphere of photography would be without a liberal dollop of well-chosen reality. Anyway, welcome here to my vision of the world; a subjective vision maybe, but one without rhetoric. Just some singularly single moments from the streets, where everyday life is often anything but. One note on my images: the burnt highlights, the posterizing, the chromatic aberrations—they're all intentional. Well, mostly. Anyway, to quote the great Cartier-Bresson, "sharpness is a bourgeois concept". And who might I be to argue. |
