I've been taking pictures for more than 10 years and never tire of it. I'm currently studying fine art photography at The Glasgow School of Art. Most of my images at the moment are taken with an iPhone. Although the image quality isn't as good as with a high end digital SLR, I often prefer the raw feel of the iPhone images. There is something more spontaneous about always having a small lightweight and very discreet camera with you. It means you can move about unnoticed and capture things close-up without drawing too much attention to yourself. It provides the photograph with a different kind of intimacy, which reflects the voyeur within all of us.
As for subject matter, I enjoy exploring borderlands between the familiar and the unknown, between the poetic and the grotesque, things that are hidden, things we don?t notice, or don?t want to notice, the outer boundaries of space and identity.
Abandoned places, fog, found objects, darkness, films, family albums, trees, poetry, half-drawn curtains, scrapbooks, birds, train rides, reflections, remains, music, changing seasons, dirt, dreams, drawings and certain slants of light are some of the things that inspire me.
My aim is to recreate a mood or memory that urges us to rediscover the world and ourselves one fragment at a time.
