Photography can be a very solitary obsession, Even when you are photographing someone else. It seems all too easy to focus (mentally) on light and form and loose sight of the actual subject. This 'book' was an attempt to re focus my mind on the Whole!

mind and soul
Almost 12 months to the day that I unwrapped my first Digital SLR. It has been a very enjoying 12 months...
I have now upgraded to the excellent Canon 40D and invested in some studio lighting.
My goal for 2007 was to have some work published. I did, nothing I would post here and admit to though.. (just quick illustration shots for a local magazine) For 2008 my ambition is to try my hand at Studio Art Nudes, I'm interested in working more with the new studio lighting, Being a big fan of Bob Carlos Clarke I also enjoy manipulating the final images. Initial interest has been good and already a couple of friends have shown an interest in taking part.
