photography

I love to imagine the unimaginable. Like visiting another world in a different galaxy, seeing stellar nebulas, surfing the edges of a black hole’s event horizon. I approach these ephemeral ideas with my mind, knowing I can never touch or materialize them. Words alone are insufficient to communicate how I feel. So I imbue my images with these complex emotions, to share the melancholy of yearning for the impossible, to feel the ecstasy of gaining knowledge of the unknowable.

I enjoy manipulating the images in the editing room until they feel right to me. I need to push the images and myself to get to this apex, this mixture of sci-fi and surrealism. Sometimes, the images are already imbued with the numinous, straight out of the camera, other times, I push and manipulate the images further and further so that they become abstract, no longer representative of one singular thing, Yet they maintain, or even gain a strong emanating sense of emotion. This is my playground.

Every visual stimulus I get drawn to, to me is like the setting for a scene from a story that’s being told as I start to take the picture. I start to imagine worlds unfold, intricate lines of causality unfurling into time. To me photography is a way to change the way I see reality, like lifting the veil to peek into the realm of (im)possibilities, as you can see in the photoseries below.

Professional high quality prints of my work are available in (very) limited edition. My photographs are usually in a 2.35:1 or 16:9 ratio. The images are meant to be seen on a large scale so the minimal width of one of my prints is 1.4m / 4.6ft. There is also a high quality, large format photobook available. Contact me for inquiries.

AI Art [2022 – now]

Taking lines from my writing, my poetry, my lyrics, my thoughts, I was utterly amazed at the results of AI image generation. The scenes are hallucinogenic, phantasmagoric. Most of all though, they are another way to catch a glimpse of the numinous.

Light and Dark [2021]

A visual representation of a memory of either future or past. Frozen, but as time moves on in either direction, more and more obscured by a cloud of possible variations of the memory.

Imminent [2021]

Still fascinated by the numinous, the wholly other, these images capture the moment right before an encounter, a phenomenon that will alter your being forever. ⁠

The Things I Saw Today [2020]

The world looked grim, the things I saw loomed dark and ominous against a severe sky. As I traversed an apocalyptic landscape projected from my mind onto the outside world, I felt the pull of oblivion.

Slowly Slipping Into Darkness [2020]

In this time of uncertainty, doubt and fear, the world, slowly slipping into darkness, looks different to me. Here’s a glimpse into the view from my eyes.

Posbank [2020]

The Posbank is quite a sight to behold, as you enter the area suddenly you are in the hills, true, steep hills, covered in trees, sand and heather.

Exoplanetary Holiday: Daytrip To Proxima Centauri C [2020]

Off on an imaginary holiday, I took my camera with me to visit Proxima Centauri C, to capture the migration of the photonic beings, see the waves undulate on an unknown sea and have my picnic ruined by some exoplanetary weather.

Project Aether [2020]

A voyage to imagined places in the universe, unknown planets and phenomena.

Mauroux [2018]

In the summer of 2018 I spent a week in Mauroux in the South of France. I was in a transitional period trying to wrap my head around things that had happened in the period before.

A Walk in Winter Woods [2018]

In the summer of 2018 I spent a week in Mauroux in the South of France. I was in a transitional period trying to wrap my head around things that had happened in the period before.

Walkabout [2015]

In the spring of 2015 I got sick, sicker than I have ever been. Infection upon infection ravaged me and it took me a couple of months to get back to any semblance of myself.
To gain back some strength, I started talking walks in the forests.

The Island [2014]

Near the end of 2013, I spent a few days by myself on an island in the North Sea called Ameland. I felt I had to take some time to reflect wandering around, taking photos, when I started to look through my lens, I became mesmerised. The island had captured me.

Hong Kong [2013]

During the summer of 2013 I spent an extraordinary week in Hong Kong visiting friends and making lots of new friends. Walking through Hong Kong was like walking through a sci-fi metropolitan dream, looking up at fleets of starships on thousand year voyages.
