ANIMOTION - where 'Life is a blur'
It seems that all my life I've been interested in pictures and telling stories. When I first started out in photography I wanted everything to be crystal clear, sharp, well-exposed - perhaps in retrospect it was too illustrative. But really ... 'Life is a blur'. We don't actually see things in so clear-cut, sharp relief - and if you analyse it, moving objects are just flashing impressions, images that pass unresolved through our vision. So I began working in a more personal, sometimes impressionistic, surreal way to really try to make the images come alive. I've been creating imagery, an ever growing body of work, to try and convey that movement - I like to call it 'AniMotion' - and hope it captures or distils more of the essence of a subject than a plain and simple static image can ever attempt to do. Of course I still enjoy and have to do the other straightforward images as well but this work feels more exciting and gives me a kick, a kind of rush - as the results can be uncertain, you never really know what you are going to get - and that helps to keep me going! Please keep checking here as I add new material.
