Blue House Wink Ed. 1 of 5

This modest boat house sits on Perth's Swan River. normally, it is a plain building with a nondescript backdrop, but light is the great transformer. This was taken very early one summer morning when the sun was just painting the sky. The clouds are remarkably delicate and the colours transformative and velvety, but the real magic is the 'wink'--a little glimpse of cheek in an otherwise serene setting. It was like the house and I shared a secret.

As a scientist, I've spent many years scratching the left side of my brain. My right brain is pretty chilled, but twenty years of being ignored was bound to create issues. With a love of the outdoors and an undeniable urge to suddenly find a creative outlet, I combined my love of the outdoors with a borrowed camera. Inspired initially by Peter Eastway, and then Peter Hewitt, Michael Kenna, Adam Burton, Julia Fuchs and Rachel Talibart amongst others, I've moved from happy snapper to obsessed photographer. Light and form, time and texture drive me. I want to take photos that transport me when I look at them: recognisable but somehow ethereal. I feel a great stillness behind the camera, the same stillness I feel when I am out in the wilderness, and I am constantly striving to recreate that feeling with each frame I take. I hope you like what you see.
