I am fascinated by the drama of weather and light, and the effect it has on everything it touches. Photography for me is to capture the effects of light; in other words: ‘to paint with light’.
My passion for light is what inspired me to write an e-book that starts with the effects and use of light in photography, before moving to composition, editing tools and equipment choices.

Following are a few sample photos that each show a different aspect of light:
Te Kouma Harbour; a quintessential sunset scene
Old boots; light brings out the texture of the leather and wood
A classic portrait set-up with light coming in from a window to the side
Silversmith; here the light from above leads the eye to the hands to accentuate effort
When it comes to photography rainy days are far from wasted days.
