On reflection

I like the idea of photographs with substantial reflections. It allows me to stand apart from the scene, yet still be capable of capturing it. This image is taken of a large Christmas bauble on a tree in Richmond, Surrey. Click on the image to see the detail in the reflection.

Early morning fog

I've been thinking about taking a shot like this for some time. One which creates a mysterious, etheral image, that could have been shot any time in the past. I think this has been acheived here. It was a very early, cold day. The light was shifiting very quickly, as the fog began to lift and the sun rose higher. I missed several shots where the sun streamed through the fog, but I was happy enough with these images.

Pylons on the roof of the O2 Arena

These masts have an almost nautical aspect to them, which is ironic as the dome they sit on is more like a sail itself.

Curved Reflections

There is a juxtaposition between the contemporary nature of this piece of sculpture and the historic buildings reflected back from it. The distortion from the curved surfaces appeal to our sense of fun.

The maximum recommended size for this image is 51cm x 41cm.

Concrete Helter Skelter

A scary ride in near-darkness which, once begun, cannot be stopped. This is, in fact, a car park exit in Woking, Surrey. I have driven down this exit and it is quite exhilirating!

The image may be enlarged up to 1.5m x 1m.

Life Through a Lens

These images would make a very good diptych, hung side by side to emphasize the notion of looking through sunglasses.

Railway Track

This is an image of a railway track, viewed from an overhead bridge. The bars of the fence frame the track and draw the viwer's eyes to the horizon, suggesting movement. The bars are also a metaphor for the commuters' sense of incarceration on their train journeys to work.

Thames River Boats

These boats, moored on the River thames at Richmond, draw the eye into the horizon.

Two Women in a Gallery

These two women look down at an exhibit in a gallery, but they appear almost like sculptures themselves.

Consumed by Art

The woman inspecting this artwork is so engrossed she appears almost to be consumed by the artwork itself. The sparse nature of the setting draws the focus even more acutely to the woman and the object and makes the viewer more curious as to what the woman is looking at.

Grafiti Sprayer

This image manages to capture the concentration and creativity of the grafiti artist. The artist is listening to his iPod and is probably oblivious to the world around him.

This striking shot would work particularly well mounted in a lightbox due to the vibrancy of the colours.

Canal Images

A collection of canalside images. The use of black and white reinforces the fact that these scenes have hardly changed since the canals were opened.

Each individual image can be enlarged to 30cm x 30cm, producing a total artwork size of 1.5m x 0.9m; 90cm x 60cm; or 90cm x 90cm. The gap between each image can be varied at the time of framing.

This collection of images would look particualrly striking mounted in a lightbox.

London Southbank1

These images may work as a series of four images or as a collage, as presented here. They are capable of significant enlargement and 1m x 1m per image would be feasible.
