"There are always two people in every picture: the photographer and the viewer". Ansel Adams | "I do what I feel, that's all, I am an ordinary photographer working for his own pleasure. That's all I've ever done". Andre Kertesz | "Photography teaches that how well you see has nothing to do with how well you see". Anonymous | "Everyone has a photographic memory. Some just don''t have the film". Anonymous | "It takes a lot of imagination to be a good photographer. You need less imagination to be a painter, because you can invent things. But in photography everything is so ordinary; it takes a lot of looking before you learn to see the ordinary". David Bailey | "The photograph itself doesn't interest me. I want only to capture a minute part of reality". Henri Cartier-Bresson | "Of course, there will always be those who look only at technique, who ask 'how', while others of a more curious nature will ask 'why'. Personally, I have always preferred inspiration to information". Man Ray | "If I had a picture of two handcuffed criminals being booked, I would cut the picture in half and get five bucks for each". Weegee | "Sometimes I do get to places just when God's ready to have somebody click the shutter". Ansel Adams | "All photographs are accurate. None of them is the truth". Richard Avedon | "To take a photograph is too align the head, the eye and the heart. It's a way of life". Henri Cartier-Bresson

These are a few of the masters of photography attempting to describe one of the most prolific activities on the planet, taking photographs. Here is a selection of mine. The categories are a bit random but more interesting than 1,2, 3 etc. If you wish to use or purchase a print, please get in touch, I am based in South East London but am available for commissions anywhere on the planet. The 'manipulation' section covers skills including photomontage and retouching. These are not necessarily my photos and are part of my primary business which is graphic and website design.
