Abstract photographs - Unusual images from the natural world...........

The natural world is full of surprises and discovering them is only limited by our powers of observation. There is so much more to see than meets the eye and this is what I try to discover and capture in my work.

Digital photography can enhance our powers of perception. I let nature provide the patterns and textures and the colours. I use technology to enhance what is already there. Sometimes I add to the picture by using natural objects. The results can be mysterious, vibrant, challenging and, sometimes, weird!

I'm also a picture framer and fine art printer.

You can see a selection of my work in my workshop at Seale-Hayne Business Campus. I also have a small selection of prints for sale at Artworks in South Brent.
