A camera and a car park
It started with one car, bad light and a lot of stubbornness.
Cars were the way in. They taught me about reflection and shape — that a body panel is really just a mirror, and that the picture is decided by what that mirror is pointing at. Get the light right and the car does the rest.
That habit of reading light and line didn't stay in the car park. It followed me into portraits, out onto hillsides, and into rooms full of people. The subject changes; the questions don't — where's the light coming from, what's the strongest line, and what's the one moment worth keeping.
Automotive is still the core of my work and probably always will be. But the portfolio is growing on purpose, and some of my favourite recent frames have nothing to do with cars.
