Observational Photography

I'm a compulsive snapper.  I especially love photographing people. Trying to get a glimpse into their inner emotional life.

 

Capturing those feelings we instinctively hide - to ensure survival in society - but which our animal bodies and faces betray.   Bring n the watch for these is... well a bit like directing drama.

​

Photographers I admire: Teju Cole, Robert Frank, Diane Arbus, early Ansel Adams, narrative series by Duane Michals, and everything by icy humanist Henri Cartier-Bresson. 

Use a laptop to see my collections 'SLEEPING PEOPLE'  'STONEHENGE '23' 'HOLY WEEK - Seville '19 etc.
