Through the looking glass

One of the challenges of running a blog on my photography is trying to come up with new subject matters and styles to keep things interesting.

It can feel exhausting fighting a continual creative battle, however when you find a new technique or style there is nothing like the feeling that comes with it. That's why when the inspiration struck to try taking pictures through glass I leapt on it.

The idea was simply enough and I was inspired to try it when I was looking through the glass panels of our front door to the world outside. Immediately everything became distorted and riveted by the glass. Appearing to run as if a painting was left out in the rain.


A lot of my photography revolves around the themes of creating a distorted, abstract or painted world and these photos perfected fitted into those themes and ideas. By doing this I was hoping to take my audience through the looking glass and into a whole new and painted world.

The last glen of summer

The last throws of the British summer are upon us, you can feel it in the crispness of the air and the shortening of the daylight hours.

It was with this in mind that I set out to capture the feeling of the last few warm days we have had. The evening had arrived, the day was warm and the sun had sunk into a golden orb which bathed everything in a rich glowing light.

I did this by set the camera on a low shutter speed and gently shaking and twisting the camera. I took a range of pictures that day but the ones I was most drawn to were the ones that turned everything into a richly coloured canvas.

One that could take the summer days and turn them into a painting that could capture the last glen of summer.
