I’m a photographer specialising in still life imagery using both natural and artificial light, drawing inspiration from classical painting, illustration, advertisements, and cinema. My current practice is focused on connecting my photographic work to my first creative outlet of crafts like Origami. Working between the physical nature of crafting my subjects and the photographing of them I am exploring the possibilities of shape, form and texture and their relationship with light. My goals are to continue perfecting these skills and combine them with products to create visually engaging outcomes for marketing/advertising use.
Projects
- ReposturesThis project is one of my first full series works of images with the aim of creating a consistent outcome with a clear intention. Moving away from the specifics of complex scenery of traditional vanitas images I was inspired by Carl Kleiner’s approach of making the space very minimal to narrow the focus on the subject and to amplify the use of lighting techniques.
- Origami ShadowsThis series was part of my first brief in my first year at NUA. We were tasked with choosing from a list of binary concepts or creating our own. As I am drawn more to technical aspects than theory or social commentary, I pursued the key idea of using light and shadows to present a subject which I combined with my interest in Origami. Using the work of early 20th-century photographer Francis Bruguière as my starting point I developed this work by experimenting and researching, particularly Chiaro
