Shooting 35mm film since 1993 and standard digital since 2000, 2008 lead me to discover infrared after getting my hands on a converted Canon 30D. Infrared photography has since become my speciality, and a rather unhealthy obsession. 
I have always preferred shooting infrared, low-light, long-exposure and black & white photography. My black & white images all tend to be processed with higher contrast, and colour images are slightly desaturated (image depending). I try not to ‘paint-out’ any part of the original photo (unless a bird flies into shot) as this can make it less authentic. 
For weddings, my preferred style has always been reportage therefore capturing the natural behaviour of the people. For portfolio work, I prefer to compose the shot but use natural light or light that is available to me at the time, rather than flash or a continuous artificial light source. 

When exhibiting my work, I like to accompany each image with a story. This helps support it, gives it a reason for being, and so often changes the way in which the viewer perceives it.
