After studying fine art for seven years, I began trying other genres such as realism, impressionism and the abstract.
I moved to Canada in 2000 and it was very difficult to find a job as an artist, but using more practical Photoshop skills I was able to get a job as a graphic designer.
In 2012 three-year-old daughter, Iris went up to some flowers in a vase and leaned in to smell them, the natural light from the window fell beautifully and created an elegant scene. This became a much-needed epiphany that I was looking for, as at this point I hadn’t done anything artistically for 15 years, but from this moment I knew photography would be the answer to my creative hiatus.
I have always been a fan of the classical masters of painting, and have a keen interest in surrealism. I’m influenced by my favorite artists, such as Rembrandt, Vermeer, and Dali, combined with some of my own personal spice, I came to my own style of photography. Many of my photos are edited to appear as if they are paintings. I am constantly looking for new and creative ideas to project them into my art pieces.
While I don’t specialize in the horror genre alone, often ideas will come to me with horror elements and I then have to work out how I can make the picture a reality using my camera and editing. While I love to use models when I can, usually or my daughter pose for the photos, because it’s a fun way to spend time together.
