portfolio born up a tree
born up a tree I like to think that the African expression, “born up a tree” conveys a message of connectedness to nature, branching out above, while deeply rooted below. There’s so much to observe, just above our heads.
portfolio black & white
black & white The absence of colour lends a timeless quality to photographs, as well as a certain elegance and drama. Shapes, contrasts and textures are accentuated. This draws the viewer’s attention to the essence of the image and enhances emotion.
portfolio baby steps
baby steps There’s something so special about young animals exploring their worlds. It seems clear to me that their eyes sparkle with curiosity as they playfully learn all they need to know in order survive. For most of us it’s the same: to learn is to live and to live is to learn.
