Ive always taken photographs,

I remember my first photos taken with an Agfa Iso Rapid cassette camera, the anticipation while I waited for them to be developed and the crushing disappointment of how bad they were when I opened them in the chemists.

​

From the ubiquitous and brick heavy Zenith E i then moved to a vintage 120mm Korelle Reflex dated 1936 and made by Franz Kochmann, Dresden with a 135mm Carl Zeiss Jena lens and was introduced to the joys of the dark room at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art, the importance of in-camera composition and the impact that ISO, Shutter Speed, and Aperture have.

​

My photos now vary between the reportage of the everyday (as seen in my Instagram feed :dummut) to stylised and graphically composed Architectural shots and dreamy Abstract photographs .  

​

What I think a photograph says is not what you might see and while a photograph has an immediacy, once an experience has been fully assimilated, it takes on its own personal meaning,

​

My photographs have been published, used in web sites,used in the public realm and exhibited in Museums
