photographer | designer | creative

I’ve been passionate about photography ever since my father gave me his old SLR camera.

What makes a great photo, for me, is the combination of interesting composition, the way lights plays off the forms and shapes, and most importantly, the original story that the image tells and the feelings it evokes in the viewer.

I enjoy shooting candid photographs as I feel they often communicate the atmosphere in which the shot was taken very strongly. Very few of my photographs are pre-arranged and because of this, I think the situations communicate effectively.

I am always interested in discussing my work and possible new projects so please feel free to get in touch by sending me an e-mail: pixelchicken@hotmail.com
