I have always been interested in shapes, design, composition and the use of negative space. This began in school where I studied design and photography as a fine art and has continued through my life. Architecture is an art form that allows the viewer to see in these terms. Architects design in an empty space, they create a solid form that fills the air above us, the land around us, each creation is a unique shape and form that fills space and leaves the sky, the ground, the areas between the buildings to allow their design to be seen.

I look at these forms as abstract constructions that give you monumental structures yet still have individual areas that create interesting designs, leaving negative space to work with. My photographs all have a sense of shape and form and although you know they are constructed architectural forms I have looked at them and isolated areas that form new designs, new ways of looking at what they create.

I concentrate on composition and use the camera lens, light and shadow to create a new vision of the structures I see. You can find design in the normally overlooked aspects of any object or a scene. I focus on the elements that make up a vast architectural structure.

I produce what my mind sees yet remain true to the architect’s intent. There is design in everything I see; it is the eye that finds the right angle and composition to make what is presented to us an image of art. I look around, I set the camera for a shot and then look behind me, I look up, I look forever. There is always another way to look and another image to find, the next image to capture. If I can see it with my mind’s eye, I can create it. If I can't see it then the best camera and lens will not be able to capture it.
