For me black and white photography is
about story telling, so when I am taken by
an image, I try to bring the emotion that I
felt when I took the image out, so the viewer
can enjoy it as much as I did capturing it.
Most of my images are controlled in one or
more ways. I often construct the story I see
in my head into black and white imagery.
I run photographic workshops on a New
Zealand Merino Sheep station, where I
encourage the participants to tell stories
using black and white photography, and
don’t let the confusion of colour get in the
way.
For me the black and white image has
always been the core, the essence & the
soul of photography. It has a simplicity,
elegance & beauty that can define
description.
I share my thoughts in my photography with
the viewer, the good days & the bad. It is in
the images you just have to look.
