Technical:
I utilise the ProPhoto AirS Lighting System to achieve desired 'working-apertures' and as 'fill-in'. I often apply B&White Lee Filters for visual FX. Prime Lenses are a must for all photography.
* All photographic details are pencilled on the reverse of each handprint.
* Limited editions are autographed and numbered from, 1–5.
* Each fine-art handprint displays my unique emboss mark.
My fine-art collections are exhibited both locally and abroad…
