“When we look at our photographs and find not the slightest reflection of ourselves, it’s a good sign that our images have lost their souls.”

I believe there is an organic flow to our humanity, between light and darkness, fragility and resilience, strength and vulnerability. These are foundational elements of my images and I’ve increasingly moved to revealing them through the truth of the moment that comes with making photos on film – it’s both healing and humbling.

Writing with light – Artist Caravaggio called light an “instrument of spirituality”

Photo imaging on film is about an entirely different connectedness to the art. It lends to the practices of patience and acceptance – freeing yourself from relying on the camera, and simply trusting what you see in real life. It allows the inherent soul of the setting and subject to be still, so that each unhurried frame is a whispered poem – a composition narrating the nuanced beauty of the way life moves in light and shadow – a form of freedom as well as reflecting the soul of an artist.
